Standing

Although we don't have this down pat, we are working on it! Rachel is becoming more and more brave as she lets go of things she pulls up on. August 11th is the first day she really did it any time before falling. She only stood 7 seconds, but it was way better then letting go and immediately falling! She is starting to actually try to balance and squat rather then "ker-plunking" down. Instead of being upset when she falls she pulls back up and tries again! The doctor told me to get her some shoes and that would probably help since she has a tendency to stand up on her toes. We got the shoes, she hates to wear them, but she is still trying to stand without them so I haven't made her wear them. Hopefully in a few weeks we will having standing down! :)
