New things

Tate is learning new things every day! Today, he figured it out...he can now pull himself up to things. I was giving him a bath and was in the bathroom brushing my teeth while he played in the tub and I looked away for a few seconds and when I looked back, he was standing up in the tub! I quickly sat him down and from that moment on had to be right there telling him, "we don't stand in the tub, Tate". Ha. He is too funny. Then, he stood up to the couch later on.

Another thing he has learned it how to dance. It is about the cutest thing I have ever seen! He just started that today too and it's like all of a sudden he wants to dance to any music her hears. Anything from his Mickey Mouse Clubhouse music, to Barney to "the best part of waking up, is Folgers in your cup!" Ha.

On a not so good note...he has also learned how to say, "no! no!" We are working on not saying that and using other phrases besides "no", but obviously we haven't done a great job because he said, "no! no!" to me several times today. He even said it at one point while hitting his hand down on his highchair tray. Little stinker!

Oh, and lastly, he took 2 steps while holding onto the couch today! That is exciting for us because he's never taken any steps before...not even while holding onto our hands!

I'll try to get some video of all of this soon. My camera battery is dead, so in the next couple of days once it's charged I'll try to get it on camera!

WOW! He went right from crawling to standing up and taking some steps! Jack crawls everywhere, but doesn't try to stand very often. I think he will be a late walker. It is truly amazing. I love to just sit and watch Jack play. They are so much fun.
