Last night I put Rachel on the playmat after feeding her turkey vegetable stew which she loved (AND it was the first time she took the spoon in her mouth and tried to feed herself instead of waving the spoon around and trying to shake the food off of it). She got busy with her toys -- a great activity board with buttons to push and wheels to turn, plus soft, brightly-colored blocks that our friends Anna and Judy gave us.
I sat on the couch and put one leg on the playmat. All of a sudden Rachel put her arms around my leg and started pulling on my pants. It felt as if she was trying to lift herself up! I helped her up but she was so wobbly on her feet that she immediately plunked back down. She grabbed my leg a couple more times before I swept her up in my arms and walked into the kitchen for bathtime.
Could she, in fact, be close to standing? Or even walking? Only time will tell...

marigold always wants to stand, too, but can't really hold onto things by herself yet -- the balance is just not there.
