piano playing sort-of walker

Rhia's been busy! Her and Daddy decided to spend the 3-day weekend working on her pulling up and walking--with much success! Yesterday Al was holding onto her hands and she was standing, and she just let go and stood there by herself! She was there long enough for me to get in from my batch of cookies to see it, and then some! She's also walking right along, so long as she's holding onto something--she's started cruising the coffee table a bit, and she loooves standing up at her jungle toy. Today she pulled herself all the way up to her feet by herself for the first time, too! She'd just been getting to her knees, and we'd been helping her out a bit the rest of the way, but she was trying to get into her toy basket today and pulled right up.

So now she wants to stand ALL of the time, and complains if she's not. It's a bit exhausting. Still no interest in crawling whatsoever--it seems that we may have a horrible speller on our hands. :)

Some new pictures and a couple of videos for everyone's Rhia-fix:

I found her like this. She was pleased.


check out that grin--and her teeth!

And some videos of her trying out this walking thing and playing her piano. She loves her piano.
