How Could I Forget?!

With all of the Halloween goings-on, I almost forgot a very exciting thing — yesterday for the first time, Sam stood up on her own from a sitting position without holding on to anything! She did it while facing away from me, then she sort of looked over her shoulder at me, grinned like, “wow, look what I did!” then promptly fell on her butt. For the rest of the day she kept trying to stand up again. She sort of did it once at my mom’s house, and a whole bunch of times she stood holding onto something then let go and just stood on her own, really steadily, for a few minutes. Today, she kept standing up, looking at me and smiling, then plopping down. She did it so many times in a row — up, down, up down — that I really think she was practicing. I think now that she has learned some balance, walking won’t be far behind.
Oh, and on another developmental note, she is getting a lot of teeth! How many, I can’t be sure of. She never lets us look in her mouth very well, but a few times we caught glimpses of pearly whites popping through!
