Hilarity ensues

Sick of silly foot stories and product identification guessing games?

I know... I know. You really want to hear stories about J. He's still doing well.

The latest thing he really likes to do is stand. He does this with assistance, of course. If he's lying flat on his back and you put your fingers in his hands, sometimes he'll try to pull himself up to the sitting position. Once sitting, with a little bit of prompting, he'll straighten his legs to stand. He's working on his balance.

When standing, he smiles and looks all around. It's like he's trying to figure out what everything in the room is from his new vantage point. If you move your hands to his waist, not only does he have to balance his head, but he has to work on keeping his whole torso upright. This is where we run into trouble/hilarity. If he spots his hands, he will try to put them in his mouth. More exactly, he will try to catch his hand with his mouth.

J's head moves forward, toward the hand, but as it does, the hand moves downward because he is bending at the waist and his arm is stiff. He bends over further to catch that wily hand, but it stays equally distant from his mouth until he is folded in half, his head inches from his feet.

I don't know how he does it, but he remains unbelievable cute the entire time. Boy do I love that kid.
