Stuart Stands

Stuart has decided it might be a good idea to start standing. Unfortunately for him, he thinks trying to stand over Deirbhile is a good idea.
He finally gets himself up and hangs onto the chair for dear life.
Later he decides to move over to the couch, which is just as good a place to stand as the chair. Perhaps more so as his old man and old lady are often there.
Balancing between the coffee table and couch makes standing even easier, so Stuart seems to think.
We're glad that Stuart is beginning to stand as it puts him one step closer to walking. The sooner he's independent the better. The last thing we need is for him to be completely dependent on Janna when his brother or sister arrives in August. We want Stuart to be an independent little child, independent enough to be able to walk on his own without one of us carrying him everywhere. And so we're on our way to this goal, by August it will be reached.

He is SO precious. And seems to actually be growing and looking less like a widdle baby. How sad.

Yeah, I was noticing today that his hair is really beginning to come in. Still, I guess since there's a new one on the way and all, it's not that big a deal. :)

I've said it before and I'll say it again: the boy is adorable. What I find truly remarkable, however, is the bottle on the coffee table. Was Stuart unaware that there was still milk left in it? I've never seen a child get more excited (not to mention shaky and desperate) over his food!

How adorable! He looks just like you Steve!
