Standing

Aaron pulled to a stand on his own 3 times today. The last time was in his play pen and he even managed to side step a little. The first two times were in his play area - once at his cube ottoman to reach his red balloon and once at the fence we now have between the dining room and sunken living room.

At physical therapy on Friday, just during the 30 minutes that Jan was here, he seemed to improve. He pulled himself up with very little help several times. So our main focus now is cruising - getting him to move along furniture and railings once he is on his feet. But the good news is that he seems to be naturally interested in doing this now.

Yesterday we saw our friends Eric and Crystal and their daughter Ruby. She is 10 months and already taking a few steps on her own. It is so strange to see such a little girl already walking. She's just a baby! At 10 months, she is ahead of the curve by a couple of months, so the difference from Aaron is more striking.
