Standing tall (and a little wobbly)

Mason seems to do a lot of his 'firsts' with Josh, which I can only assume is making up for the fact that they don't see enough of each other. Last weekend, Mason stood up using the tub side and then one of his toys (loud, tripod-like thing). I didn't see him pull himself up to standing until a couple of nights ago. Since then, Mason has stood using a myriad of objects for assistance. Today, especially. We were at my parent's house and I went to get him from his nap and he was standing in the play pen. Then he stood up with the coffee table, the gate, etc. It was so fun to watch him get better and stronger with each one. Tonight, I put him to bed at his normal time and about an hour later I could still here him in there jabbering to himself. Knowing that it was only a matter of time before he stood in his crib, I went to check on him with my camera in hand. Sure enough, the little turkey was just chomping away on the crib rail. He laughed when I took his picture. What a goober!
