A new trick

Saturday William tried to stand using the music table. it didn't quite work out for him even though he started from my legs but he had a great time playing. Sunday he almost made it from the floor but keeled over before he made it all the way up. today I offered my thumbs and though he didn't know what to do at first, i got him to grab them and he used me to stand. it only took the once he now grabs for my thumbs as soon as he sees them and is up in a flash. we still need to work on balance but we are very excited with his new trick :)

Today after daycare we drove up to the house and I hear
"Oh no what happened to my house?"
"I don't know what happened?"
"I don't know!"
(I look and see the birds that J's Grandfather and Father made hanging on the post.)
"Did daddy hang something up?"
"Yes"
"Do you want to go see it"
"Yes"

Evelyn noticed it before I did, clearly I am not the observational person in the family. I tried to pick her up to see it but she put her shoes on my shoulders which scares me so I asked J to hold her up forgetting about his limitations. Lets just say he didn't feel good :( though he should have said no. I can't wait until he feels better of course neither can he.
