Standing Tall

Did a ever mention that Joshua started pulling up to his feet on April 18th?!?  He finally made it past his knees!!  He and I were hanging out while Derek was away helping our friend Jeff Knapp with his proposal to April.  (Check out our Flickr page for cute pictures of the engagement.  The boys seemed to have a lot of fun being sneaky and getting things all ready for Jeff and April!)  While we were playing I looked away for just a minute and when I looked down at Joshua again he was standing up pulling everything out of his toy box.  I was so proud of him that I didn't even mind the fact that now all of his toys were on the floor.  Of course, pulling up has opened up a whole new world to him.  Climbing the stairs is now his favorite activity.  He starts crawling over to them, stops and turns to look to see if we're watching, and then bolts to the stairs and up he goes.  I have to say he's gotten pretty good at it, and has made it all the way up several times.  Don't worry, we stand behind him when we let him climb.  He's hilarious when he does it, though.  He laughs out loud at himself and has the biggest grin on his face!  We can tell he is just so proud of himself.
