Get Up, Stand Up

For your first birthday I decided to get put some money in your account, give some money to others in need (in the form of a charity donation), and get you the cute upholstered baby club-chair from Pottery Barn. By now you know I like to tackle birthdays early, so I ordered the chair in April for your July birthday. It's a good thing too, because after ordering I found out the fabric was back-ordered until July 2nd. Turns out the fabric came in earlier than expected, and the chair (embroidered with your name) arrived last week. I couldn't wait to see you use it so I decided to give it to you for your 10-month gift, which was just 2 days away. Perfect to let it off-gas a little before you get those tiny little buns in it.

Before I bought it I asked some of our Mommy friends about theirs, and a few of them said their bebe's walk, because they had to stand up to get out of the chair. Well you've been using it for only a couple of days and already it helped you stand up on your own without pulling up on anything. I was clipping your nails while you sat in it, and when I finished you just stood right up and hugged me. Of course after a celebration I ran to get the camera to document this momentous occasion. It's uploading to YouTube as I type this. You're basking in the glory with a baba. I already called Dad, he can't wait to come home so you can give him an encore.
