Finally my baby girl stands!

Julian was eager to get up and about from an early age. He wanted to sit up so early. He was always stiff. Before I knew it he was standing, with assistance of course. Now he is sitting on his own. For a few seconds at least until he falls over.

Emily on the other hand has always been so content being limp. She barely wanted to sit up. Don't get me wrong, she is my little cuddle bug. She lays with me and is like my little worm. I admit though that her not stiffening made me a little worried. So I am always trying to get her to stand. I hold her up and put her feet on the ground and let a little bit of her weight go at a time. Eventually limp she would go. Not today though. Today my little girl stood proud. And boy did she have a smile on her face while doing it. Maybe that was because of mommy cheering so much, but I think it was because she was so proud of herself.

My son is standing up

My baby boy Julian stands now. He has been doing it for a while. It is one of my favorite things about him. He will stand on my lap while I hold his hands just helping him with balance a little and he shakes his little hips. This gives him so much pleasure. He smiles and is just so happy. If he is too tiered he wants to stand, which is a little backwards. You would think tired... lay down and rest. But no Julian wants to be up and standing. Sometimes when I am changing him on his changing table I will stand him up and hold his little hands and he will spread his arms and it is like he wants to give me a hug. I just pick him up and he puts his arms around my neck and there really is not a better feeling than your baby being so close.
