SNOW DAY!

We have a stander!

It's official! Lindsey can stand all by herself! On Valentine's Day, she used a toy to push herself up, and then just stood there for a few seconds. She has been standing and walking while holding onto our hands or furniture for a long time, but she was always too nervous to let go...until now! Yesterday, she actually got up on all fours from the ground and just stood up! She hasn't taken any steps without holding on yet, but I am sure it won't be long!!






















It's funny to watch her ease herself down when she's ready to sit.

Lindsey's tricks

Her three tricks now are "clap", "wave", and "hug" (she puts her head down on your chest).




I think she says "dog" and "duck", but they sound awfully similar! She can also show you where her ears are, and she can bring you a ball, book, or duck if you just ask for one of those. In the past couple of days, she has been getting braver when it comes to standing up and letting go of whatever she is holding onto. She can balance for a few seconds, but then she gets nervous and sits down. Or, she'll throw herself towards you and fall down. She gets this excited/nervous little look on her face and laughs. I don't know if I am ready to have a walker!! She is turning into a little person before my eyes!
