The Cheese Stands Alone

Much to our surprise, Jack has discovered that he doesn't need to hold on to things when he stands up. He has been practicing his standing and is becoming quite proud of his efforts. He pulls himself up on things and then lets go. He can usually stand for a few seconds before plopping down on his rearend - thankfully the diaper is great cushion. A couple nights ago he was sitting on the floor, got himself into a squat, and then stood up. I have been saying, "He could be walking by Christmas." But deep down, I didn't think it was possible. Now, I think it could be.

Last Christmas he was still cooking in my belly. This Christmas he will be into EVERYTHING. No wrapping paper under the tree for us this year!
