He's so proud of himself that he's learned how to stand up in his crib...

Josiah has learned how to pull himself to standing–and let me tell you he’s pretty happy about it!  He started experimenting pulling himself up on things this past weekend and by today he’s got it down to an art.  He can pull himself up on in his pack-n-play, toy wall, dining room chairs, entertainment center, crib, you name it!  He’s even figured out how to pull himself up using the piano bench so he can (just barely!) reach the keys.  He’s delighted with the piano and will try to play and dance which usually throws off his balance and makes him fall–it’s quite entertaining.  🙂

It’s also created a bit of a problem when it’s time for him to sleep…  this new found freedom is much more appealing than lying down and going to sleep.  Last night he woke up around 3:00 a.m. and decided it would be more fun to stand in his crib yelling at Chloe.  This didn’t make any of us happy, least of all Chloe!  After 30 min of trying to coax him to go back to sleep I finally let Chloe come and sleep in our closet.  He eventually wore himself out and went back to sleep, but I’m hopeful that he doesn’t do THAT again tonight!
