Standing on her own two feet (sort of)

Eleanor has always loved to be in a standing position. And nowadays, she's getting pretty good at it. She doesn't pull herself up to standing, but if you place her next to something she can hold onto, she'll stand there forever. Also, she has learned that falling down onto her little bottom isn't going to kill her, and has stopped turning on the waterworks with every minor fall. She's getting very brave! The other day, she took one step while holding onto the couch to grab the remote control.

Here are some pictures of her showing off her skills. She even did a fancy one-handed move as a special treat. As you can see in the second picture, she is quite proud of her new big-girl moves!
