He's been trying. You could see the cogs turning trying to figure out if there was something more. And sure enough, Jack took a few steps today. Or actually he took a step or two a few times. And one time he was in the bathtub.  From the second he learned how to use his hands to crawl, he knew he could use his hands to pull up and he rarely was content playing with a toy while sitting. Recently, he's been standing unassisted more and more, and if you watched him you'd see when he want to go somewhere, it used to be drop and crawl, but lately he got more hesitant to drop down quite as fast. So he today, at 10.5 months, he went right, left, then crawl.

And this one,

I am trying to keep a monthly photo of Jack to chronicle the differences, but I'm done. I don't know how people do it, some even weekly.

The latest installation had me get this picture. Don't ask me how. Also don't ask me why I put a pale red head on a couch this color with that wall color and never bother to use the natural light in the mornings.

Standing, or jumping?

Here is his face being forced to sit still.

 Bobby has mastered his scooter, except for the stopping part needs some work. I better invest in some more shoes though.

Bobby is good. He is a great brother, if not a little aggressive. He wants to help Jack stand, gets mad when Jack tries to knock his buildings down or take his toys, but he also has never been so excited to play with baby toys and get in Jacks way too. Bobby threw a mango for Jack to catch. Last night he said, "God bless Batman"
