Standing On Her Own Two Feet

Not content with blasting through milestones like sitting and teeth and crawling all in one two-week period, Margaret has developed a love affair with standing.  She can't really do it on her own (though more later on that) but she's working hard at it.

She practiced at the zoo.  Notice how she's checking with her grandmother to make sure she's doing it right.

And then this morning, she was sitting with Leo on the couch, and she accomplished this all by her own unaided efforts.  Notice that his arms are not involved.

I means, she's getting a good bit of support from the couch, but she still hefted herself up. 

And since she's figured out that she can move and maneuver, she has had little interest in sitting still.  I'm so looking forward to taking her on the plane to Molly's wedding next week.  Why, Molly, why couldn't you have gotten married last week?  It would have been so much easier on me.
