Ben started sitting up on his own and crawling during the week of Christmas. On January 10, just before Ben's 7 month birthday, he started pulling himself up on furniture! I was so excited and yelled for Nathan to come and see. Since I was so excited, Ben was super excited and it was really cute! Ben had been trying to pull himself up for a couple of days before he actually did it. Now, he is constantly pulling himself up on EVERYTHING! I think his favorite thing to pull himself up on is me! With pulling himself up, there is a lot of falling happening in our house lately too! He has a few bruises as battle scars! He is starting to get better balance though and we had to take the coffee table out of the living room. Grandma Brenda and Grandpa Cary got Ben a walk behind toy for Christmas and Ben took steps with it today! I have been so so so excited about his accomplishments lately! Unfortunately, crawling and pulling up mean that Ben is going to have to move up to Nursery II at daycare very soon. This makes us sad because we like his teacher Keisha so much!
We also bought a newer crib off of Craigslist because Ben started pulling himself up in his crib. The crib we were using was older and had a drop side and as physical as Ben is, we decided it would be much safer to get a newer crib with a stationary side. The crib is a year old and is white. I love it! I think Ben does too because he can pull himself up so easily in it!
We have a few pictures of Ben crawling and pulling himself up but our main computer is having issues lately and my laptop is very old and slow so I will upload them later. I will take a picture of our new-to-us crib too.
