I can stand! (sort of)

I have been practicing standing and I'm getting pretty good at it.  

I have been trying to crawl for a few weeks now, but I can't seem to get beyond being on my hands and knees.  I try to move forward, but I can't.  All I can do is rock back and forth and scoot backwards a few feet.  It is really frustrating!

So I thought that I may just skip the whole crawling thing and go straight to walking.  I have been working on leg strength for a while now (see my bouncing video below).  Now, I need to get the balance down.  I have figured out how to stand while holding onto the rails- I usually like to watch my sisters playing in the living room down below.  

Coming soon- transferring from rail to rail!

Why in the world would you want to crawl when you can stand up and face the world! Just like your beloved trees you want to stand strong and tall.
I love the look of accomplishment on your face.
Your new cousin Kate is looking forward to meeting you!

Dear Sophie,

Your progress is admirable. Standing up shows your height- a tall girl in the making.As for moving, I think you're following your Dad's development- he did not crawl either. I love you and miss you. Gran
