Wow! What a difference one week makes. Last week Julia realized that she could pull up onto small objects. From that small movement she learned an easier way to sit up on her own. Then a couple of days later she figured out how to pull up to her feet. Yesterday, she walked along the edge of the couch and used Mommy’s leg to climb up into a chair. And today she discovered that she could sit by Emily’s storage drawers and open the bottom drawer and get stuff out all by herself.

So much, so quickly! I knew it was time for her to pull up and become more mobile, but I really was shocked at her desire to climb. Emily was never a climber and it appears that Julia might have a little of it in her. I wonder what she will learn to do this evening.
