Well, Well, Well... (Drum Roll Please)

...Look who decided to join us in the land of the upright!!

A week or two ago, he finally pulled up to standing, three times in a row! And then nothing until two nights ago.

Now? It's all he does!! If you try to place him on the floor after holding him or carrying him, he straight legs it and refuses to be on his bottom.

He also needs work on his landing. If he's standing, and wants to get down to crawl, then he just plain falls down. And when he's up...well, he just doesn't understand that he can move those little chubby feet in a different direction and actually move! He stands up, and maybe his toy rolls away, or Dalton moves away, or whatever, and then he looks at you like "What the heck do I do now?"

It bothers me that he mostly uses the bricks to stand up. And it also bothers me that last night we found him standing on the table! Dalton has a Little Tykes plastic picnic table in the living room, and somehow Jackson managed to hoist himself up on the bench, then onto the table! And Jackson just LOVES that he can reach all kinds of stuff that he wasn't able to get to before! Like magnets! It's SO MUCH FUN to put magnets in your mouth, and choke on them, and make Mommy come running and have her dig her finger through your mouth and then bite her with all your tiny sharp little shark teeth! That's so much fun! Believe me, Mommy isn't crying from pain, she's crying from joy, I promise.

Oh, well. Get a good look at his hair and his cute little lopsided head! Jackson goes in tomorrow morning to get his helmet! So it's pretty much going to be helmet head 24/7 from here on out...well, for about four months or so anyway...J's orthodics doctor told us that is the average length of treatment, so we'll see.
