Upright

Calvin is no longer content crawling around on the floor. He is now spending the majority of his playtime upright. He pulls himself up on anything vertical and treats the house as an obstacle course where he walks from wall to couch to table, etc. He's still been holding a toy in his left hand, though. Some things never change.

The window blinds now are pulled half-way up the majority of the time, and tables remain cleared. If not, upon seeing them, Calvin pants and babbles while racing me to the "new toys."

Calvin has also been loving to walk between my legs lately. Here he is pulled up, and next is a video of us vacuuming together. Prior to this, Cal crawled right to where I was sweeping, so though this requires more careful movement, it is much more fun!

Calvin has also been playing games using his ability to pull himself up and walk. I wish you could see Cal's big smile, but here is the game. Calvin pulls himself up on the back of the couch waiting for me to pop up. As soon as I do, he laughs and falls back. Repeat.

When Dan came home from work a couple of mornings ago, Calvin took off walking to him instead of crawling like usual. He has repeated this spontaneous walking a few times since. Here he is doing this on camera.
