Standing Up

Sophie has started to pull herself up regularly. She's not cruising yet, but she definitely loves to stand. I don't think it will be long before she starts walking, though, because she is not afraid of letting go of whatever she's holding onto. On Monday, she decided she wanted to stand on her own and let go of the couch. She didn't stand for very long, just a couple of seconds, but instead of being scared like many babies are, she seemed to like the independence. Then she fell on her bottom.

She's also trying to figure out how to stand without pulling herself up. I caught it on camera:


This is about as far as it gets right now, but considering she's only been trying to stand up for 5 days, I'd say that it's pretty impressive.
