Jack's mobility

Jack can move around now, really well.

He's been scooting for the last month or so, but now he's really taken with standing himself up. It's been a concern of his mother's that he hasn't learned to sit up, but that's taken care of now. He can sit up when he wants, it's just a question of motivation. Why should he sit up, when a parent or sister will come and get him.

One answer might be to get away from his sisters.

It's really funny to watch how he navigates the single step between the family room and the dining room. He will inch his way along the from the family room onto the step then slide down on his bottom. From here he takes off, invariably into the kitchen where there are all kinds of pots, pans, place mats, and other items he's not supposed to get into.

This morning I woke up with him and just the two of us were in the family room. He played with his toys until he wanted new adventures then made his way into the kitchen. I caught him excitedly scooting himself to the cabinet under the sink where he loves to explore.
