Pulling up on....everything

A few days ago I blogged about Megan pulling up to standing using her fingertips on the walk-around toy piano.

Yesterday I was sitting in the floor and Megan was sitting on one of my legs facing Will. Will was laying on the floor propping his chin on his hands so his face was at face level for Megan and the top of his head was around her eye level. She loves to play with Will's head - it is nuts how much she loves it. Anyway, she reached out, grabbed onto his very short hair and used it to pull herself into standing. It was so cute - she would stand there, leaning against Will's head and "banging on it like a drum" and then she would sit back down and a few moments later she would do it all again.

Today she was sitting in her chair with her musical table at her lap and I was sitting on the couch working on adoption documents for Sam. I looked down and she had reached across the table to two very secure handholds and she pulled herself to standing. I quickly stuck my leg out so my foot was under the table so I could hold it still for her. Once she was standing she looked at me and I clapped for her. Because of the way she was holding on she couldn't really play with much so she sat back down.

She has the concept and technique for standing up if she is in a sitting position at a 90-degree angle, give or take.
