Moving on up...or pulling on up...

Jacob has been pulling up now for about a month. He started to pull up on Jon before he left and hasn't seemed to stop pulling up on things yet! He likes to pull up in the tub, onto our one stair in each bathroom, on the couch, onto his activity table, the glass tv stand, his government issued bookshelf with his toys, the laundry basket, the computer desk and the computer box itself. If he can reach it he will get up to it. The funniest thing is him trying to stay standing up with a drawer while pushing it in and out! He cracks me up!

He accomplishes this by one of three methods. The first is being completely flat on his belly and extending his arms over head to where ever he wants to stand and he pulls himself up with his upper body. The second way is how he does it the most which is up onto his hands and knees and then up. The third is what I call a kickstand because his one arm looks like a kickstand. He puts one hand on whatever he is wanting to stand at, the other arm is locked in a straight position against the ground with him on his knees. This has to be the funniest of them all. Why he must do it this one way when he knows how to do it the other..I'm really not quite sure. But whatever works for him.
