Hands free, moments before dropping a crawl.
Jason is getting bolder in his experimentation with upright poses. He cruises the furniture, sometimes letting go with one hand to grab the remote or a toy. Tonight, he stood for a few seconds without holding on to anything. And then he did it again.
As an aside, Google Instant search results for "Standalone" didn't yield any baby friendly title inspirations. Maybe Jason could be considered a standalone system sweeper as he scours the kitchen floor in search of dropped food.
Hehehe – way to standalone Jason!
p.s. His pjs are stinkin’ cute.
PJ credit goes to my fabulous sister in law, Paula. Jason is the beneficiary of her sons’ hand-me-downs.
Hand-me-downs are the best!!
I liked your play on words with standalone sweeper – got a chuckle out of that one because a toddler really is a “mine sweeper” mining everything within reach that immediately becomes “mine.”
The mine days are coming soon. With Laura, I had the realization that she was echoing me as I repeatedly told her things like, “No, Laura, that is mine. Here, you read your book and let momma read her book.”
So exciting! He’s about to get into more stuff. Well, more stuff more quickly!
When he figured out drawers and cupboards, the stuff began to fly.
i dunno how i missed this entry!!! but anyhoooo, yay for hand me downs, fabulous sister in laws (right back atcha babe
) and scrumptious baby named jason. 
Double hooray for the fabulous PP!
