Free-stander!!

Anabelle is getting more and more independent these days. She knows what she wants and what she doesn’t and is determined to do things all by herself whenever possible. Today, while playing in her room … she managed to get herself into a standing position while holding a toy in each hand. She then felt the need to thoroughly examine one of the toys and to do so … wanted to use both hands … which meant that one hand couldn’t be tied up holding onto something. So, she was kind enough to make sure that I had the camera ready and then she simply let go and was standing all by herself … holding onto nothing but her toy!!! I, of course, went crazy with the camera. She stood there for quite awhile … carefully examining her toy and then casually reached over to her crib to steady herself!!
