Standing... soon to be crawling/walking

So, Otto stood up last night. He just was sitting on my lap (almost indian style), and pulled on my shirt to stand up! He did it again when I exclaimed in surprise to Eric, too.

I was not expecting it at all and now I'm a little apprehensive about how quickly things are going to progress... he's not crawling or walking... yet. I knew he was strong, but come on! There was no real warning at all!

Goodbye world. This is our official goodbye since we'll be chasing around our little boy any day now! Wish us luck!

Smart man

So, Otto was evidently bored one day when I had set him in his high chair early November and figured this fun trick out... before this he was smiling, amused and laughing. I almost missed the best of it.
