A milestone for Scott!!!!

Scott stood up from the floor ALL BY HIMSELF today!!!! Usually, he has to pull up on a piece of furniture, and he'll take off walking from there. We've been working so hard to get him to use those core muscles to stand up on his own, but it's really hard for him.

Anyway, Scott was in the playroom, and I popped in a Baby Signing Time DVD for Juliet to watch while I put him down for his nap. He heard the music, and immediately tried to get up so he could go into the living room to watch the show. I watched him from down the hall, and he was trying so hard, the little guy. He'd get up on his hands and feet, and he'd try to use his core muscles to pull himself up to stand, but then it would be too hard, and he'd give out. He tried about three times with no luck, and then he finally did it! I was so excited, I started shrieking and crying, and I grabbed him up in a hug, and I think I scared him.

So it was an exciting day for us.

I am way overdue for a post, and I have tons of pictures I need to share. As usual, life has gotten away from me. Suffice it to say, the kids are good, Juliet is a full-time walker (have I mentioned that already? I think I have), Scott is doing wonderfully well at school, and we're preparing for his transition out of Early Steps with his third birthday.

Hopefully, I can get on and post some pictures tomorrow.
