Dahlia learns to stand

Less than a week after Dahlia first figured out how to crawl, she also figured out how to stand up. Now she pulls herself up (with increasing stability) every chance she gets. What began as a slow attempt to babyproof the house has quickly become a necessity!

Like a ballerina about to do a pirouette:



We have lift-off! Dahlia raising her tush off the ground:



Dahlia has even tried to pull herself up on the glass curio (yikes!):



Dahlia has also started to eat cheerios. For every ten she touches, about two make it into her mouth. Dahlia enjoys watching her parents sweep the other eight off the floor:

Dahlia's new favorite activity is chasing an old racquetball around the house. According to her teacher at daycare, sticking out her tongue helps Dahlia crawl. :)
