these are my legs

The past couple weeks Henry has been getting stronger and stronger. Just this past week he has been obsessed with standing. If you go to set him down on his bum, he just locks his knees so he's standing. He also recently discovered stairs (ah!). And on Monday (August 27) Henry climbed up FIVE stairs!! He hadn't really climbed up any before (maybe 1, with help), just hung out at the bottom and checked them out. So on Monday all of a sudden he just started climbing on up! And he made it up 5 steps before he got a little tired and just kept high-centering himself.

what are these things?

look mommy, i'm kind of standing!

Then yesterday, we saw Henry started pulling himself up into a standing position. I was shocked! I got so excited I texted Josh right away. And then he kept doing it all last night, and it was so cute.

i was doing some dishes, turned around, and saw this

what up now, mommy?!

It's both exciting and mildly terrifying that he is growing up so fast! I feel like he just started crawling like 2 days ago, and now he's already pulling himself up, and walking when we hold his hands. So basically...he's a genius ;)
