Standing on his own…

As many of you already know (and have seen first hand), Connor has mastered walking around with his push cart/walker.  He loves this and can turn on a dime.  He has gotten so good that he knows when he is getting close to bumping into something and will stop and whip it around in the other direction.  I really need to take more video of this, but it has become so “routine” for him that we just forget how amazing it truly is.

Well, over the past week he has learned to start to balance and stand on his own.  It might only be for a short few seconds, but it is the next skill he is developing.  I counted him standing for nearly 6 seconds tonight.  He kind of gets distracted by what he his holding (pacifier or toy) in one hand and then takes his other hand off of his cart or the couch to touch the item with both hands.  He stands there for a second and then usually loses his balance.
