Stand Up! Stand Up!!

We have documented Gillian's crawling skills, and Colin's previous lack of crawling skills, but NO MORE! As of yesterday, Colin is an official 4-limbed crawler! He's still pretty slow, but it's effective! Gillian's belly crawl has developed into a tri-pod approach to mobility. She uses two hands and one knee, and moves the other leg along with her. It's odd, but effective.

Look at that boy go!


Race ya!


More excitingly is that both babies are now independently pulling to stand!! Gillian started on June 1st with this skill, and Colin followed up on June 12th. Our new baby gate seems to be the preferred start point for standing, but they will both pull up on the coffee table, activity table, and the excersaucer.

When I went to Emily's shower yesterday and Michael had the kids all day to himself, he took lots of good standing pictures.

Colin's first stand!


Gillian at the coffee table. We need to get our bumpers put on!


Some serious work to be done!


We did it!


Smiley stander!
