Pulling up...

Have I mentioned lately that Lautje is pulling up on everything, trying to stand? I know, progress is good, but, it creates some problems. For instance, both the Mommy and Daddy frequently work on their computers at the coffee table, which, incidentally, is the perfect height for Lautje to pull up on. So, as the Daddy is sitting on the couch, he frequently has a visitor, as can be seen below. Naturally, given his strange attraction to cables, remote controls, and anything that he isn't allowed to have, he really, really, wants the laptops. So, as you can see in the next photo, he strategically places himself at the optimal troublemaking position.
And, as seen from the point of view of the Daddy and Mommy, it's all very disturbing. He used to just be able to balance for 2-3 minutes and then he'd fall down (only to get up and do it all over again, but at least you had a quiet 30 seconds in between), but now, he squats there for 15+ minutes, quietly starting at us. You can see the thought in his eyes: "Daddy, can I please, please, please drool on your laptop just this once?"
