standing ovation

While I was in Seattle, Colden surprised Matt by starting to stand completely on his own. He's been pulling to stand for over a year, cruising, and pushing his radio flyer wagon since last October. But he had yet to master how to stand up independently in the middle of the room. Naturally, he waited until I was away on a trip to reach this new milestone. Kids. Here's the video Matt sent me capturing his very first attempts to really stand.

Since I've been home, I've managed to catch his new moves on camera a few more times.

We're so proud of you, baby!
