Standing up!

In the recent days, upon leaving Ava in her play pen, we would see her putting her hands on the side rails and she would be trying to pull herself up.....well, she hasn't quite succeeded in that, but she was able to pull her head up above the rail...she may just skip the whole crawling thing and start walking, eh?


Side note: the pediatrician says that Ava's backwards crawling, technically counts as crawling, so that's neat, but right before bed Ava's been "scooting" forward on our bed (Jon doesn't think it counts as crawling, yet though, but what does he know)

Well last night we propped her up in the corner, then she grabbed the mobile...

and made her way over to the other corner

where she played with the crib toys

not too shabby, eh? She's got some strength in those legs....

Wow! Go Ava! She'll be trucking around on her own in no time! I know this is a good thing, but I cannot say I am looking forward to Jack running all over the house...boy o boy, will I ever get work done then?! :)
