Standing up in his Pack-n-Play

I sat down in the family room with Victoria to watch some T.V.  She had put Connor in his Pack-n-Play so we could relax and not chase the “rug-rat” all over the place.

He started to move around and position himself in the pack-n-play.  Victoria noticed what he was doing and told me to watch…(evidently, he had already showed Mommy this new trick).

He began to put his hand against the netting on the pack-n-play from a kneeling position.  Seeing the railing is out of his reach, he was smart enough to figure out that if he puts his forehead on the netting, it would allow him to raise his arms above his heads and grasp the top railing.  I was watching in amazement (again, Mommy had already seen this trick).  With his forehead pressing against the netting, he was able to reach for and grab the top railing.  He then pulled himself up into a standing position.  At that point, I figured the trick was over — but, Mommy told me to wait.  He then got on his tip-toes.  This was just high enough for him to peer out over the railing with his eyes.  He let out a big smile — his way of saying, see what I learned yesterday!

I love you, Connor.
