Standing or Something...

Leoni after a successful attempt to pull herself from sitting to standing

...or just for herself. Since she was about 2 1/2 months, Leoni has wanted to stand more than sit. Stubborn streak-don't know where that came from. She would make her body rigid when we would try to pull her into a sitting position, so she instead would be pulled to standing. We had a hard time getting her to bend at the waist or knees after that. Now that she is sitting alone and mobile (army crawl, which is hard to catch since when the camera comes out she just stops to pose), she is loving climbing up anything and everything that will help get her into a "standing" position. I think that means trouble.

Her favorite position on the couches, which unfortunately also involves tiptoes and trying to reach over the edge

Caught in the act of climbing up dad's bag to get to the garbage can

Right before getting frustrated because the arches of the playmat wouldn't support her wait while trying to move from kneeling to standing

  1. How cute! Isn't it funny how stubborn they can be at times? I try to have Addie sit and cuddle, but she too just loves to stand. She is looking as cute as ever! Miss you guys!
