Seth Stands

At 4:30 p.m.. on Sunday, April 25th, Seth stood on his own for approximately 30 seconds. He was so interested in the fruit he picked out of the fridge drawer that he forgot to hold on and stood trying to open it. He did not realize he was balancing. Savannah got so excited and said, "Mommy, look. He is standing. He isn't going to fall." When he noticed he was standing, he just bent his knees and sat down (on purpose). He did not wobble or fall. We were all clapping, jumping up and down and so excited, but he just wanted me to open his fruit. Then he went in his highchair and ate his fruit and some pasta and now, almost an hour later he is napping. That took a lot of energy to stand like that, so now it is time for a nice nap.

He stood with Rich yesterday at the playspace at Six Flags in Wiggles World. But today he did it with something in his hands, with barefeet, on ceramic tile. Savannah stood on her own for about 6 weeks before taking a step. Then for two weeks she took 1-3 steps before taking 12 steps, then 15, then walking. We will see how Seth's walking progresses from here. Very exciting time.
