Crib Time Fun

Crystal has been such a joy to watch grow. Now that she has the scooting/crawling technique down, you would think that she would be good for a time. But rather than being satisfied, you can tell that she wants so badly to walk. She loves you to hold her hands and help her walk, and she'll use anything she can to try to pull herself to her feet.
This is why her crib is her new favorite place to be.




She'll reach up to the bar and pull herself up with all her might, then let out the biggest smile when she makes it. It's priceless.



So...you would think that standing would be enough...I guess not... Now that she's getting a feel for standing and moving while holding onto something, she's starting to stand with nothing but her balance....trying to at least. ;)
She'll pull herself up, set her feet, and then let go of the crib, or whatever she's holding at the time. She usually only makes it for a few seconds before falling on her bum. But it's adorable to watch her surprised face turn into a giggle or smile, then try it again.
