standing freely on her own...

So last night, amongst all of the playing, she stood on her own for about 5 seconds quite a few times. Previous to last night, standing on her own was "parent-directed," as in daddy would let go of her hands so she was standing, but then she'd sit down. Last night, she'd push off of something or be standing playing on her FP toy thing and let go and "forget" she wasn't holding onto anything and was just standing here. Oh so fun!

the end of a standing moment


crawling all over mommy


Yesterday we were at a friend's house playing with lots of other kids. Hannah and Addison are a month apart, and it was so cute to see them "dance" to music...they sit and wiggle their upper torsos back & forth, bobbing their heads. Too bad I didn't get video. Maybe we'll have a chance to get video today since we're going back there in a bit.

I'm going to start adding more photos to the posts (I've been such a poor photo poster for the month of Nov). I put photos for December in the posts below. So here's a photo story board of an odd night last night...just for fun...
