Standing Baby

All Samantha wants to do now is stand. She pulls herself up onto anything. It took just about 2 days for her to figure out how to get back down after pulling herself up. Those 2 days were kind of funny as she tried to figure it out. Then, just like that, she did. She holds onto whatever it is she's standing with and lowers one hand to the ground until it touches, then she just lets the other hand slide off until it lets go. Or she'll fall to her knees sometimes, realizing that's a little closer than her bottom. We now have a baby fence set up keeping her from all stairs and the kitchen, since she figured out how to get past every other barricade we set up for temporary blockage. Here she is over the last few weeks.

This is how we get down...

Reach for the floor

Confident the floor isn't going to move...

Ready to let go!
