I want to stand up!

Ely balances himself on his knees now. He likes to play with big boy toys.

Our friend Miyeon gave us this Peek-a-Bop Playland and Ely likes to crawl inside to play with balls. For some reason instead of crawling inside, he looked to the clear plastic window to look at his toys. He may have been imitating me.

I found Ely had pulled himself up on the bars of the Jumperoo and rocking it. I think Ely will move onto walking. He rocks on his knees but he likes to stand up more. People at daycare think Ely will start walking soon too. Although he may be less motivated once his friends who walk move to the toddler class. His friend Blake is 10 months old and holds himself up onto toys so Ely may still be motivated to stand up more.
