Standing Up "Max Style"

So Maddox finally learned how to stand up on his own when he falls down, instead of crawling over to a piece of furniture or some stranger's leg to pull himself up on. This video is classic Max style. Watch as he assumes the crawl and then the crab -- a combination of both techniques to finally stand upright.



He actually first stood up on his own when we were on the beach in Cabo San Lucas this past week. I think it was an incline and so it was easy for him to push up in the sand. And of course, sand being as unstable as it is, he would fall right back down on his butt. I'm just glad I don't have to run over and stand him up anymore. That was getting pretty old!

Is this why you haven't been posting that much? You have a walker on your hands. Sofia just started rolling, sitting up, pulling up on everything and crawling (kind of) and its soooo much more work than before!
