standing up

i couldn't catch a photo of him doing so (since of course the camera was downstairs!), but benjamin managed to figure out how to stand up by himself this morning without pulling up on the furniture/wall/mom's leg. he was SO proud of himself he started clapping when he did it the first time. i joined in, and every time since he has clapped for himself. i can't believe how quickly he's learning things these days - it's amazing.

i got this photo on 05.21!
