Look Mom ... NO hands!!


Ike is becoming a pro at free standing! It used to be that I could lie on the floor to stretch out after dinner for a moment of peace and relaxation but not any more! My body has been transformed in my 11 month old's eyes, to a magnificint jungle gym designed specifically for his free standing practice. He'll army crawl over, all elbowes and toes, grab a hold of my shirt mid chest, pull him self steady with feet planted in place and then ... tadah ... a perfect release as he straitens out into a stand. My favorite part is the look of accomplishment on his face when he realizes that he's done it once again. If standing up were an Olympic sport, Ike would think he deserved the gold medal. Love this kid!!!

Good job Ike! I miss the days of 9 months to about 3 years. Those are good times. They are all elbows, knees and toes and you are the soft spot for all those hard spots.
