Yesterday, for the first time ever, Alyssia pulled herself up to a standing position while she was inside her play yard. She wanted me to come get her and I was busy doing something and telling her I was on my way. When I turned around, there she was, standing up, little fingers clinging desperately to the gate. I think she was too upset to notice that I praised her for doing something new, but she definitely has a new skill. She repeated it in the bathtub last night--not a good place for standing. Maybe all this pick-up, put-down stuff is making her stronger and more independent. My mom just sent Alyssia the nicest toy. It's a giraffe that encourages babies to pull up and stand to play. I think she's going to love it.
She also said "down" yesterday for the first time. And she said it more than once. She was in her highchair and wanted to get down, so she looked at me and repeated "down" two or three times. She emphasizes the "w" sound when she says it. So cute. This is Alyssia and her friend, Samuel. We went to their house last month when my sister and niece were in town. They have the nicest little beach park near their house and we all went there to play. The kids loved it.
