Look at Me, I'm Standing!


Justin is standing more and more every day.  He is so proud of himself and he really wants to stand all he time.  Today at therapy Miss Penny said that he didn't even want to sit down!  He stood up for about 70% of the time.  He stood up while holding a bat and then took two steps to walk closer to the balloon she had hanging up and then he hit it with the bat.  He is walking behind a push toy and he stops when he sees that he is going to run into something and he moves the toy and straightens it so he can continue to keep walking.  He can walk all the way from our dining room though the kitchen into the living room!  It's amazing!  I sometimes have to stop and watch him and bask in his accomplishments.  He is improving by leaps and bounds and soon enough he'll be running and jumping.  Last night Justin walked from the parking lot into the building.  He did a few face plants, but he struggled back up and kept going.  Sometimes the walker gets away from him!  Times are changing in our home.  The last few "baby" things are slowly falling away.  Exciting and scary too.
