suggestions for standing

OK so Emerson does NOT put weight on her legs AT ALL.  I'm not worried about, but was wondering if anyone has any ideas as how to get her to stand.  I try to hold her up with her feet touching the floor but she just curls her legs up.  She loves her jumperoo & she will jump like a mad girl but won't just stand there.  She curls her legs up.

any suggestions?

    Does she have a Leap Frog table? She could sit on your lap at first and then stand and hold onto it...my DD loves it!!

    My daughter's the same way.  She'll either curl up or try to bounce when her feet touch the ground...like she thinks that feet on the ground reminds her about being in the jumper.

    I have the opposite problem. The kid would stand in her sleep if she could!! Now, if I could just get her to like being on her belly!

    Haha, same - I actually am wondering when DS will be able to stand on his own because he NEVER unlocks his knees. He loves standing with help, but is not even close to figuring out how to do it correctly/with balance.

    Even when we lower him from standing to sitting, he won't bend his legs, it cracks us up. We have to slowly lower him backwards and he keeps them sticking out straight the whole way.

    Oh well. They'll all figure it out eventually.
