We've Achieved the Desire to Stand

This past Saturday, February 7th, marked the first time Zac pulled himself up to a standing position in his crib. Did we capture this event in picture? Of course not! Did we capture it the next time or the next day? Of course not! That would've made too much sense.

So instead, today I give you a picture of Zac taken this week when he trapped himself underneath a chair in the dining room. Look for some new videos to post on the right side sometime today as well once I get them converted to a smaller size and upload them to YouTube.

Zac is pulling himself to a standing position on everything now, and working at taking steps side to side to move along. He'll go back and forth between objects, but making an actual move hasn't yet happened, though he does keep lifting a leg up as though he intends to take a step. And now that he's conquered getting back to the floor, we figure it won't be but another few days before he's moving along and then we can attack balance and taking his first steps.

This week we have to get his first year shots as well. Since the pediatrician here refused to see him before his first birthday (while he still had insurance through me), I'll run him off to a clinic run by the county this week for those necessary shots. Hopefully it won't be too traumatic for him. Nobody likes getting shots. :)
