Taking A Stand

Emma surprised me tonight by reaching one of those long-awaited, treasured milestones: She pulled herself to a standing position all on her own.
During bath time, I had placed her light-up ducky (thanks, Peachie!) on the edge of the tub, and forgotten all about it. Well, Emma didn't forget about it and decided to go for the gold. Sure as a baby fawn, she pulled herself up onto her sturdy legs and grabbed the duck. I, of course, did not have a camera within arm's reach - Cripes! - so I posted some equally cute pictures of her doing something completely unrelated...but, don't despair, dear readers! More bath pictures are to follow!
Once the baby bee got a taste of the upright life, she decided to do it over and over again, which made bath time interesting, to say the least. I didn't want to discourage her from her newfound talent, but I was growing concerned that the combination of a huge ducky tub full of water, shaky legs and slippery plastic bathtoys were a recipe for disaster. Ah, well, we shall have to practice on terra firma from here on out.
