Sunny 9 for 2005 May 10

Yesterday, Lily pulled herself up to the standing position for the first time. She did it in her crib and then on the couch. Now today when I tried to put her down for a nap, she kept climbing up and standing there with her little eyes peeking over the bar just barely, waiting for me to come get her. I kept putting her back down, but sure enough when I checked on her 3 and 4 times she pulled herself up. Then she would bawl b/c she was scared to let herself down, but she got tired of holding onto the ledge. Every time I went in there, she was white knuckled holding on for dear life.

I think she learned how to pull herself up quickly b/c of her fun cousins who were able to walk and get around. She would watch and watch them mesmerized. I think she had a fun time with them. It was so cute b/c she kept wanting to give Samuel kisses.
