He's Standing!!

As you know by now, Gwen was on her own timetable when it came to her gross motor skills.  She never worked on standing, rarely pushed a push toy to help her walked, never wanted to hold our hands and walk.........and of course didn't actually walk until 20 months.  She was content crawling and playing with the iPhone & watching TV.

Not Leo.  We are experiencing "normal" development (I put quotes around normal because by now Gwen could navigate an iPhone and play games.  Leo will just put it in his mouth or hit himself in the head.  I now shocks me that Gwen could actually do that!).  Leo now goes from a sitting to standing position without holding on and can stand for a while on his own.  He's cruising a ton more, loves to push his push toy, and can walk while holding just one of our hands.   It's fun watching him hit all these milestones as Gwen's "delays" near killed me.

You be the judge.  Does he look more like a surfer or a sumo wrestler?
