Pulling Herself Up, Climbing and Standing (Supported)

Maddie has loved standing for as long as we can remember.  After she mastered crawling, she started to work on pulling herself up and standing while supported.  She even climbs and crawls over things.

This video is from July 26th, Maddie and Joseph are playing and she pushes herself up on him and stands on her own two feet for a second!

On the morning of Tuesday July 28th, I let Maddie hang out in her crib while I brushed my teeth. When I came back, she had pulled herself up to standing in her crib for the first time!  Look at this grin!

We lowered her mattress to the lowest setting a few days after this - she still pulls herself up but at least now she can't fall out of the crib (until she learns how to get out of her crib!).


This is the next day July 29th, Maddie pulled herself up on the living room couch for the first time! (She has pulled herself up on the basement couch already).

So proud of herself!

Now she pulls up on anything possible and has started cruising along the furniture
