Standing Alone

I mentioned a while ago that Jacob is becoming more confident in his own abilities. He is now standing on his own for longer and also clapping, dancing and holding toys whilst doing this. We've found that if we put "The Wheels on the Bus" from Baby Einstein on, he will show off with his standing abilities and dancing for the longest amount of time.

Jacob also loves to be thrown up and down, spun around, held upside down, go to the playground and loves to climb on anything and everything he can possibly find. That will include Dave and I, the sofa and his push along walker. When he's climbed onto or over whichever obstacle he's chosen, then it's time to reach for something he shouldn't!

And one of the lastest "tricks" he likes to do is crawl, as fast as he can, to the stairs. He will wait at the bottom, look round for us, giggles and smiles and then starts to crawl up the stairs. Even with us repeatedly saying no Jacob. He can easily climb all the way to the top but it's teaching him how to come down on his bottom is our hardest trick.
