Standing.....without holding on!

Harrison has started to test out if he can stand unassisted. He started doing this yesterday, he will be standing holding onto the couch, then let go and have a look of amazement on his face like"look what i can do!" He only lasts a few seconds, if that but its a start.

The result of this is lots of bumps and bruises! He is such a daredevil, he has no fear! He falls a lot because he will try and walk or reach to things out of his cruising capability, and then fall. He has had 3 little bumps or bruises on his head so far........i see lots of Dr's and Urgent care visits in our future with this boy! I cant wrap the whole house in bubble wrap, or follow him around waiting to catch him all day!

On another note, I went to the store today and it is starting to become more of a challenge. At the checkout he is reaching for all the goodies lined up right at his level, all this while i try and unload the cart/trolley. How you Mums go shopping with a gaggle of kids I have no idea!

On yet another note, it is starting to become easier to let Harrison feed himself finger food than try to fight with the spoon! He cant manage to get any food off a spoon into his mouth just yet, and he would rather try and do it himself, especially at breakfast time!
