Jacob has discovered he can stand by himself using only one hand to support himself. He's quite excited as this leaves the other hand to bang or grab various items. His confidence is definitely growing as he began letting go of one of our hands and then both as he "walked" back and forth from Jimmy and me. He didn't make it very far without the support of both hands though. His confidence and ambition definitely exceed his balance and coordination at this point!
Although he can't use his "walker" as a "walker" yet Jacob is starting to really enjoy using it to stand and for the music it makes. Jimmy is also a huge fan of the music this toy produces and hopes we can find other toys in the future with similar soundtracks.
We're still trying to encourage Jacob to crawl although he is much more interested in being upright. He will hang out in the crawling position for a few moments (if we put him in it) and sway back and forth. He's tried several times to pick up one hand to move but each time he's come crashing down.

So cute!! He looks different that he did even a couple months ago! I think he is looking more like you. I love the new tricks. From now on, they just keep coming and they are pretty fun!! Also, that is an amazingly awesome pic at the top of the blog.
