Get up, stand up

Rian has been pulling up to a stand since a week after he learnt how to crawl. That was right around 8.5-9 months timeframe. Since then Rian has gotten more and more mobile and creative: cruises around the family room, goes up the stairs, brings down all our DVDs :-) etc

Lately Rian has taken to walking with support. If you want a grin from this little fellow, just give him one finger in each hand, and he literally walks all over the house, tirelessly, from dawn till dusk, leading you. Now he even wants to climb up stairs like mommy and daddy, one foot on a stair and push up! Now Aaji is experimenting giving him just one finger instead of two!

Today was a sort of a milestone, and experienced by Dad. Rian was playing with Dad and was sitting. Out of nowhere, he got on his fours and magically managed to stand up without support! He was standing for 30-40 seconds at least. I think it's safe to say now that "Rian can stand on his own" :-)
