Pulling Up
Well, our little hero is now getting better and better at pulling himself up. He has been tentatively doing it for a few weeks, but over Labor Day weekend, he really showed us that he is quite capable.
That means that, even with constant supervision, the bassinettes he used to play, are not a safe option anymore. So we stripped them down to their play yard state: he now enjoys the mesh sides and he constantly crawls, pulls himself up, falls down again, rolls over and start again. And, of course he won’t stay in it for more than a few minutes, but it is a start.
Keegan has also been pulling himself up using us as props. He has not started using furniture, but it is a questions of days, I am sure. He is also practicing walking: when we are holding him by his hands, he is bending one knee at at a time and putting them in front of each other. We know it doesn’t mean he is ready to walk: he is still pretty wobbly. He has been able to support himself while standing holding on mommy’s necklace before… We will see. Grandma and grandpa are betting he will be walking within a month. Of course they are a little biased, as they would really like him to take his first steps while we are visiting. Mom and dad, on the other hand, are in no hurry!
