My baby has finally learned to pull himself up into a standing position. This is a huge accomplishment for him. He's almost 15 months old and is a little behind his time. There's only one problem. He hasn't learned how to sit back down! So, now I'm spending most of days "rescuing" him from one predicament or another. It's become a vicious cycle. I've tried the whole leave-him-cry-and-he'll-figure-it-out technique, but it's not working. He just cries harder and acts like, "oh, help! Won't somebody who loves me please help?" It's pathetic.
And he took his first big fall the other day. He pulled the phone table over on himself. It's a light weight table and there's not much that sits on it, but it sure scared him. And it left him with a little bruise under one eye. Still, there was no blood so that's good. Emergency avoided.

Also, this getting up and unable to get down, has caused some problems at bedtimes. He's decided to sit up and fight the sleep. The only problem - he can't lay back down. So naturally, I'm in the room a few times a night to "rescue" him. It's startling to walk into a dark room expecting to tuck in a sleeping baby only to find these two, big blue eyes staring back at you. Made me jump out of my skin!
Well, he's at it again and I should go help him. Supermom to the rescue!
