A Stand Up Kind of Guy

First before I get to the main course---dental news! Ty finally had a tooth break through on Saturday, June 21. He's been gnawing on all kinds of things and drooling like crazy, so it's great to have some results!

Now for the main course. Ty is a stand up kind of guy. Really. He does his army crawl to whatever object of furniture (or person) that he wants to use to help him pull himself to standing position and after he slowly pulls himself up he stands holding on to that object for LONG periods of time. I'll set him down and try to tempt him with toys slightly out of reach to crawl to, but no, he will "Ty crawl" to a footstool or the sofa table or the window seat or whatever catches his eye and pull himself to standing. I stick close by when he does this, because he invariably lose his balance and will let go and I don't want him to bonk his head. He's seems very pleased with himself when he does this-smiling and laughing. He has very strong legs, maybe from all the his practice jumping in his jumperoo (and now standing).
