Standing Up

Jackson loves to stand up on my lap. He will hold on to my face with both hands and have one foot on each of my legs. He thinks it's pretty fun and giggles the whole time. So the other day I decided to see how he did standing on a solid surface. I set him down on the kitchen table and lightly pulled up on his hands, he stood right up. He stood there for a few minutes. My friend Jess snapped pictures while I held Jackson's hands. He laughed and laughed smiling ear to ear.

We have been working everyday on him sitting up and standing while I hold his hands. He's getting really good at it. He'll balance for a few seconds before he starts to fall to one side. And he has now started to scoot across the living room floor. He hates being on his belly for to long. So he's gotten good at rolling himself over on to his back when he gets tired of it. When he scoots, he does it on his back. Turns himself in circles. It's pretty funny to watch. I'm hoping that in the next few weeks he'll be able to sit up on his own. He's doing great so far. Just thought I'd share a few pictures of him.
