He's learned to stand up by pulling up on tables, chairs, his iPads, his pack n' play, and whatnot. So he's almost just like a real human now! He stands up at every opportunity, and he's gotten pretty good at it. There's one small problem, though. He doesn't really know how to un-stand himself. He'll just hang there indefinitely unless someone comes along and helps him to sit down, or he just falls down. He's taken a couple of ugly de-standing spills, so he doesn't have much confidence in his un-standing ability. As we all know, once you are out there, high above the Earth, it's important to be able to bring yourself home for a safe landing. Just ask those guys on Apollo 13. So we've been practicing his dismount.
Added bonus: now he can reach the toxic houseplants!
Notice that he's dressed in his green St. Patrick's Day duds. Either that, or he's going to grow up to be The Riddler.
The "reach for the toxic plant" shows: courage, curiosity and physical prowess. How does such a little guy have all of that going for him before he is a year old!
