On his own two feet


Today Thomas surprised us by reaching another milestone - and this one had nothing to do with sleep. (Thank goodness!) Our friends Dave & Christine were visiting with their son Miles (who is 4 months younger than Thomas) when L'il T decided to show Miles how things are done. He pulled himself up, looked around, let go and stood. The first time he was up for about 5 seconds. Then, giddy with delight, he did it again for much longer (maybe 10 or 15 seconds) - long enough to get Daddy and Dave's attention and have everyone ooh and ah. He especially likes it when we clap for him.

True to form, Thomas has decided that he must practice his new trick at every opportunity. He stood for a few seconds before his bath and tried it again in the tub (not very successful - hmmm). With any luck we'll have pictures in a few days.
