Lemme out!

From Wenesday morning:
Of course I missed the best shot, but twice Wednesday morning, Danny
demonstrated that he can now pull himself all the way to a full
standing position in his crib. The first time I found him standing up
in his crib, I could tell that he had been chewing on the straps of
the laundry bag that I had just hung on the side of the crib...

His only problem now is that he hasn't figured out how to get back
down again once he's standing. So by the time I found him standing
there, he was done being distracted by the laundry bag straps (they
were all soggy...) and was holding onto the railing for dear life
calling for Mommy to come to the rescue!

I came to his rescue, but I still had to get ready for work too - so
back in the crib he went. By the time I came back, dressed and ready
to go, (with camera phone in hand) he had gotten back to his knees and
seemed like he was trying to get to his feet again. I tried to
encourage him to pull the rest of the way up so I could get a picture
for his grandparents, but he insisted that I put the camera away and
rescue him again instead.

Since then, his teachers report that he's been doing the same thing at
school - pulling himself up on his crib after a nap or wandering
around the classroom and pulling up on the furniture in the classroom.
But then he doesn't know how to get back down once he's pulled
himself up!
