Rapid Progress

As mentioned yesterday, Lautje is pulling up on everything. And, by that, I mean everything. As you can see in the first photo, even his play-mobile-thing is not immune to the phenomenon. He literally won't stay on the floor for 5 seconds, without scouting out possible things to grab to help him stand upright. Needless to say, he's like a crawling accident-waiting-to-happen.
Which brings us to last week. We've been letting Lautje fall asleep on his own lately (which generally involves leaving him alone in his crib and trying to ignore his pleas for someone to come rock him to sleep - otherwise known as grumping). Well, the other day, as the Daddy went in to check on him, there was Lautje as captured in the photo below.
Standing up. On his own (or, at least with a little help from the crib). Somewhat unexpected, truthfully. And, of course, the Daddy, being the irresponsible parent that he is, immediately fetched the camera and took a picture. Oh, and then made sure Lautje laid back down in bed. Needless to say, we dropped the level of the crib fairly soon thereafter...
