pre-walking manning

manning pulled up to stand all on his own for the first time today!  yay!  i didn't think he was ever even going to try (he can get anything off the couch by just standing on his knees and hasn't really seen the need to reach higher or stand).  just for comparison, i looked up what mason was up to at this age (he did all of the large motor stuff 'late' - well within the normal range though).  mason was already standing and walking behind 'push toys'!  alright, manning, let's get you going.

he thought it was the greatest thing in the world to 'walk' on his knees while pushing the lion.  seriously, he was laughing almost the entire time!
and then he came up with this 'pimp crawl' action.  i thought it was pretty funny and none of the other kids had come up with this one as a long-distance movement.  he was kind of working himself around in a circle.
we are really, really excited for this big boy to walk!  he is already over 25 pounds!  love.
