Today El pulled herself up to a standing position, all by her little self. She's been working on it for about a week or so. I gotta say it's been hilarious, in a beyond-cute kind of way, to be sitting on the bed reading Av a story, and watching El try her stunt. You suddenly see her pink head wobble up from the bottom of the bed, her face a mixture of surprise, delight, and concentration. She grins big when she makes eye contact with somebody, then she teeters and drops out of sight. It's the best thing ever. Well, except for the other thousand things about her that are the best thing ever. So tonight she pulled herself up and stayed up for a good minute or two. Av walked at 11 months; maybe El will be a little early too. She's really getting fast with the crawling, though, so maybe she won't bother for a while. Who knows. She does seem to be hitting a lot of milestones all at once - why is she in such a hurry to grow up? I guess having an older sibling to catch up with is pretty motivating. I wouldn't know, only had younger.
Now, if we could only convince you that food does not enter the body through one's fist, little Miss Spoon-Grabber!
