standing, standing, and more standing


Boy, does she ever love to stand! She used to play so contentedly on the floor by herself while I got something done. Those days are long gone. Now she wants to stand up to everything, and if she's not standing, she's trying to pull up so she can stand. She's now perfected the art of walking around and around in circles around her leap frog table. She does this for a good 20 minutes or so before getting frustrated and wanting to move on to something else.



And the most frustrating is that she's learned to stand in her crib (thankfully after we moved the mattress down this past weekend!) So now when she goes in to go to sleep, if she feels like it she'll pull up and stand, and then cry and cry because she can't get down and go to sleep. I never know if she's crying because she's standing or if she's crying because she just is tired and having trouble going to sleep, so I always have to go check on her, which makes her even more mad because "Mommy came in and didn't get me!!!" I guess I need to teach her how to get down if I ever want this phase to end!
