Taking a stand!

     Brett and Emma have been practicing their favorite move...standing! Although they have been doing this for a few weeks now, it is still exciting to them every time they climb onto something. It takes a lot of strength to get those chubby legs off the floor, so why wouldn't they be excited?

     Being able to stand up also means being able to declare nap time OVER as soon as their little hearts desire. 

    Emma seems to have a little more control than Brett. She is good at standing up and getting back down just as easily. Brett, however, often gets "stuck" on things he has pulled himself up on. He then cries until someone rescues him. (Add 'Hero' to my resume.)

   They have also been taking a few steps while holding on to various pieces of furniture. I'm excited for this huge milestone, but it also makes me very nervous! They have taken a few small tumbles and between the both of them, I am going gray a little earlier than expected.
