Pulling up to standing?

JavaVino910

DD is normally sitting on the floor surrounded by toys, so she hasn't really had an opportunity to work on pulling up. After folding some laundry the other day, I sat her in the laundry basket and she grabbed the side of the basket and almost pulled herself up to standing (then she slipped a bit and I caught her). Anyone else's little one working on standing?! I'm not sure if I'm ready for this!

Just wanted to add- Julia only rolled a few times and hasn't crawled yet...

Ty is insistent on standing.  I swear, he won't crawl - he'll go straight to walking.  He's been trying to use his toys as leverage to stand, which clearly doesn't work.  He's really good at grabbing my pinkies that I put out for him to use and pulling himself up.  I'd say he started doing that right before Christmas, and about a week later he figured out how to separate his feet so that he could work on balance.  

Right now we're trying to work on keeping his back straight.  He's starting to get excited about stuff below him and bends to look at it! (or a cat!)

Reed has done this a few times in his bathtub. He grabs the side of it and starts to pull himself up. Since he's been in the tub, I've always make him sit back down though.

He definitely isn't close to crawling yet either!

He hasn't tried yet! He hasnt rolled from his back yet either. He has been sitting on his own for about two months though. I am in no hurry for him to stand, he is getting too big too fast.

Liam literally did the exact same thing, in the laundry basket yesterday!  He kind of got up on one knee & was trying so hard to get that other leg to go, but kept plopping back down on his bottom.  He finally gave up...thankfully, I'm not quite ready for that yet!   He's not crawling yet, either.

No crawling yet, but various attempts at pulling up to standing.  I hope DD does crawl!  A friend said her DD started walking at 8 months!! 

Nothing is baby proofed, so walking clearly has to wait until we get our act together.

Who has dropped the crib mattress?

Julia started doing this in the bathtub a week or two ago, too!

DD has been doing it on my fingers for a couple of weeks and just yesterday managed to do it on one of her toys. It's adorable how proud of herself she is every time she manages it. No crawling here, either, but she's been rolling for ages.

Yes DD has been doing this since the day after Christmas. She also is crawling all over the place. DH lowered the matress to the loswet setting becuase she started standing in her crib. I am so not ready for a walker!

Nikolai is crawling like mad and has pulled himself to stand several times now. Too fast!

I'm going to put Emily in situations to try. She loves standing, so I'll see if she'll try.  That's fun!!!

DD is crawling like a crazy girl and recently started to head for anything she can pull herself up on. It's cute but exhausting. She doesn't stop moving anymore.
