Standing up

Late Saturday afternoon I went to get Sarah up from her afternoon nap. To my amazement, she was STANDING in her crib. The poor child had one hand on the side of the crib, one hand on the mobile, started crying, and I ran downstairs to grab Dave and my camera. This is what we came back to...


...big tears, but still standing! Yay, Sarah! We are so excited for this next milestone. Now we just have to get past the "new trick" phase so that she doesn't pull herself up every time she wakes up. We are also working on getting down, as she doesn't have much confidence in her ability to sit back. It is interesting how clearly she shows her fear and trust at this age. We pray that as her parents we will guard and use her trust and fear rightly.
