Standing up

Baby Zoe,

You're rising from the floor with no help at all and standing on your feet. Once up, you applaud your achievement, like you do when you put food in your mouth, picked with your little fingers. We applaud too.

For the last couple of months your goal was to come to standing without support and last week, a day after your 10th month birthday, you mastered the task. You did it again and again until it became easy, and you set your eyes on walking. You have a way to communicate your mind without language. You want me to walk you up and down the hallway so you practice. I think its a matter of days.

This activity and drive to grow comes with a price, well worth the pay. We had some falls and bumps and bruises. All minor casualties, but it's never fun to see you get hurt. My little wild flower, you're growing faster than any baby I know.
