Standing up

I was going to wait until our internet month rolled over this weekend before updating my blog and putting some photos on, but Mathew suggested that as so much has happened in the last week, maybe I should update it sooner rather than later. Otherwise it would be old news. Brendon started pulling himself onto his knees and then into a standing position. He is now doing it so much he is getting a bit cocky, even trying holding on with only one hand while reaching out for something else. He has since started to move his feet as well, taking a few steps. I have photos but will definitely wait until after the weekend to upload them, otherwise I will go over our internet usage for the month.
I took Brendon to CaFHS yesterday for a weigh and measure, seeing that he will be 10 months old this Sunday. He is 10.75kg and 79cm tall. That puts him in the 75th percentile for his weight and the 97th percentile for his height.
He got his birthday present from Nanna and Granddad early, thanks to the Target toy sale...a Toy Story 3 fold out sofa lounge. He has spent this morning trying to pull himself up on it.
It looks as though he may actually crawl instead of just commando crawling, as he is spending a lot of time getting himself onto his hands and knees and rocking back and forth.
We bought a six seater dining setting which feels huge compared to our little old 4 seater. The new table is 1800mm x 1000mm, the old one was about 1250mm x 750mm. Brendon complains because there are bars on the legs which stop him crawling under the table as easily as he used to. And with more chairs there are more chair legs to get in his way. Just wait until he discovers he can pull himself up on them! It is Tasmanian Ash and very heavy.
It's a shame that the Sweeneys didn't get to visit, due to Tegan getting Chicken Pox, but hopefully it won't be long before we see them again. Now that we have a bigger table, maybe we should have Christmas at our place one year?
