All by himself!

Yep. You read that right. He did this all by himself today. I had put him the crib and was doing something when Brady said, "Mom, look at Oliver!" We watched him at the side of the crib, pull himself up on his knees and then go to his feet. Just like that. He was pretty proud of himself. No. He was more than proud. He really thought he was hot stuff. So it happened just once. He still has a long way to go before it happens on a regular basis. I figure there will be a perma-bruise on his cheek until he gets it right. My mother said walking is right around the corner if he is already starting to stand up. I am not so sure. Brady didn't walk until after her first birthday. I am editing this to add that he is pulling himself up regularly. He woke up in the middle of the night and I found him standing in the crib waiting for me! Yikes.
Tomorrow Michael is hosting a fishing tournament for Belmont Tech. Brady is entered and we will go spend the day trying to catch a fish! I am sure there will be many photo ops so hopefully I will remember the camera.
