First off, he's got teeth! The front two bottom ones sprouted on July 8th and 15th.
He did very well for the first one, though he had a rough day with the second. It probably added to his discomfort that we were up in Breckenridge with Dean's parents at their timeshare. Teething while away from home was a bit rough on the little guy. But he's a trooper, and made it through!
He has also recently begun standing up on his own! He started using objects that were low to the ground, and he would kind of lean over the object while he got his feet under him. But now he can pull upright using objects that are higher up. And even more recenlty (since I began writing this post yesterday, in fact) he has learned to stand up using a flat surface, like a wall!
He even has begun the bare minimum of cruising, although the most he's moved so far is about a foot.And now for the most amazing feat that Robin has accomplished recently: he has figured out how to climb stairs! It follows well on the heels of standing up, I guess. We tried to see if he would follow a toy up, and he did.
There are seven steps from the landing up to our living room, and he has gone up that flight of steps several times now. I also sat two steps down while he played at the top of the stairs, and after I caught him a few times as he started to tip down, he seemed to understand that going down stairs means falling, and wouldn't try to go in that direction anymore. Not that I'm going to stop using the baby gate, by any means!
