Baby G moments from 12/12/15

My toddler can't walk yet but on Saturday night, she stood up on her own for the first time. No helping hands, no furniture or walls to clutch, nothing. Just her own little 30-inch tall frame pushing into downward dog pose, and then fully extending into mountain pose... well, not quite mountain pose. It was more like a starfish - feet spread beyond shoulder-width apart, head held high, arms to the side. Ok, more like arms flailing rapidly as she gave herself enthusiastic rounds of applause and smiled with pride. She held her balance for several seconds, but collapsed to the floor, only to push back up as soon as possible to stand again and again... and beam with more pride. We were cheering like lunatics for this milestone. Our baby is growing up!
