Standing up

Jonathan is working incredibly hard right now. Pretty much every other minute, he's practicing standing. This started about three days ago, and he's already progressed from letting go for a millisecond and then grabbing on again, to standing for a couple of seconds and then falling on his bottom (hurrah for the padding of diapers!) to moving unassisted from a crouch to a full stand, and just this morning he stood up for a couple of seconds and actually used his muscles to adjust his balance as he tipped forward, backward, and back upright. It is the most amazing thing to watch. I've never seen such a fast learning curve. I think he'll walk soon. What fun to see my little baby turning into a little boy!
