Standing on His Own

So I had to censor this picture because you never know what kind of creepy people are reading your blog... Zach's in the buff in this picture because he is impatient when it comes to getting into his kiddie pool.

Zach can now stand on his own. He does this most often in his kiddie pool and in the shower -- no idea why. He can also get to standing without pulling up on anything. He did this for the first time last weekend when we were shopping for plants at Merrifield. Our saleslady obviously didn't have children because she looked at us like we were crazy when we started cheering him on. He also took his first independent steps at daycare this past Monday -- two of them to go and give one of his daycare girlfriends a hug. The next day he took five more. I finally got to see steps with my own eyes today when we stopped by the toddler classroom to say hi to his friend Landon, and Zach took a few steps so that he could grab onto him.
