Pulling to a stand!

Natalia started pulling herself up to a stand a couple of weeks ago-these pictures show one of the first sequences. She has gotten quite proficient now-and oh, so pleased with herself when she is standing. When we took her to the doctor a week or so ago, she pulled herself to a stand while holding onto a little toy set-there were about 4 or 5 other kids there, all over the age of 2. She gave us a beaming look that was full of pride! Imagining herself quite grown-up, I suppose. She also often prefers to feed herself rather than be fed, which can result in some messy mealtimes.
