Getting Back Down

Standing was a milestone but, as Ben and I quickly realized, getting back down from standing was just as important! After two nights of Dexter waking us up in the middle of the night or not napping because he was stuck standing in his crib, yesterday I watched him teach himself how to get back down. He can now very easily drop down from standing onto his butt or move his legs back, reach forward with one hand, and eventually let go of the other hand, dropping to a crawling position on the floor. Hallelujah!

Those were two of the worst nights we ever had--with each kid. They were possessed to keep standing up despite being put down a zillion times. Glad he caught on to sitting back down so quickly. He really is VERY smart.
