Momnesia

One day after she turned 11 months, Emerson stood up without assistance for the first time. She’s done it before, but has almost immediately fallen over. This time, she stood up, wobbled, and crouched down. Then she stood up again! It was awesome!

I “yay”ed and clapped for her, and she grinned all huge and did it again - and then again, as I kept clapping and praising her. She did it every once in a while, and then she would look at me with her eyebrows raised as though to say, “See that? I think I have this thing down!” It was awesome.
