Stepping out |
[posted by Nat] |
Yesterday Benjamin took one step without holding anything. It was a very little step, but still!
For the last few days he has been standing without leaning on anything more and more. This usually occurs when he has toys in each hand or is clapping or "brushing" his hair. It never lasts very long (5 to 20 seconds) because as soon as he realizes he isn't holding on to anything he either falls or lunges for something to lean on.
We were playing in his Play Zone and he was holding his rattle-phone. The Play Zone has its own phone and a place to "hang it up" on the wall, but that phone was in the kitchen. Benjamin decided that he wanted to hang up his rattle-phone, so he stepped forward and tried to put it into the wall where the other phone usually goes.
As I write this, it occurs to me that I should also be proud of the fact that he understands that both toys represent the same thing!
