Lily Goes Vertical!

Lily is growing and developing by leaps and bounds, she has recently begun to crawl and pulling up has followed closely behind it.

Just today she mastered pulling up all on her own:

Step one - find something low to reach up to.

Step two - Once your hands are up off the floor, straighten your legs.

Step three - Look around for where to go next.

Step four - Go for it, you're almost walking now!

So not only is she pulling up, but she is already, as you can see, trying to cruise furniture.

Then... if that wasn't enough, she achieved another balance milestone tonight. She hates crawling on the tile, and will usually just cry when she gets to the edge of the carpet. But tonight she REALLY wanted to get to me, and I was about four feet beyond the edge of the carpet, so very carefully and very slowly she crawled on her hands and FEET. She had to set her knees down a couple of times to get her balance but she only did it when she had no other way to keep moving.
