Milestone: Standing Up

Another night with almost 12 hours of straight sleep for the little guy culminated with a new milestone.  When he started to stir I made a bottle and went to go get him.  He was moving around pretty good this morning and I thought maybe he would pull himself up.  Of course I didn’t have a camera with me.  He’s becoming very mobile.  Later in the morning he made about 20 attempts to get into the dog food bowl.  Back in his bed he began reaching for the railing and eventually pulled himself to his knees.  Now I’m really thinking he might actually go all the way.  It’s not easy to get from a kneeling position to your feet so this will be a big milestone.  I still don’t have a camera and don’t want to leave because I don’t want to miss anything.  So I sat down and tried to motivate him a little to keep going.  A few minutes later he made the move.  He pulled himself up to a standing position and actually stood there long enough for me to run and grab the camera.
