Standing

His new trick, which I saw for the first time at the weekend, is to
use the sofa to pull himself upright, stand there for a few seconds
(between 5 and 10, so far), then topple over backwards and bang his
head on the floor. What a clever little laddie.

I thought he was a bit young for pulling himself up on his own, but
everyone I've spoken to who has kids reckons 6-7 months is about right,
so if anything, he's a week or two behind. Well, he is the only one
at nursery who can't stand and toddle, so I guess it's time.
He's also got a second tooth through now. Both of his bottom front
ones are out and gnawing. He can give a good hard bite when he wants
to now. Which is good for him eating fruit (he can get half a peach
down in under a minute now - although he did still seem to be chewing
on part of it half an hour later last night), but it's not so good for
me!
