Wil has finally pulled himself to a stand. He has been trying so hard and getting so frustrated that he can't get past his knees when trying to pull up. We - dh and I, therapists - have all been working hard to teach him how to get his feet under him and two days ago he pulled it all together. By himself, in his crib. And today he did it again and again so I think he is well on his way to using those legs, finally!! And I am equally pleased that once he pulls up he stands there for quite some time. His tolerance to bear weight on his legs has always been weak. So we are very proud here! He is also very proud of himself, grinning ear to ear and squealing with delight when he does it.

hey wtg wil!

i know your feeling, elias just started pulling up too, and they are close age, so i know how frustrating can be for them not to figure how to pull but once they start its amazing how fast they learn, isnt?
