Tonight she did it -- she grabbed the side of her crib and pulled herself completely up to a standing position, then squealed with glee! She was so proud of herself, or at least that's how it looked to us. She actually did it three different times. We honestly think she might just start walking and skip completely over the whole crawling thing. She has still only been able to get her knees up under her with Mommy's help, and then is not inclined to move from that position, but she loves to pull herself up and stand. The crib rail wasn't set in the "up" position tonight so it was easy enough for her to grab onto... there's no way she could reach the top if the side was all the way up.
Emma has also decided that she usually needs to be near someone. When we walk out of the room briefly and leave her sitting there alone, she often starts crying and yelling, until one of us comes back to sit with her or pick her up. She does love to be held, and it's hard not to pick her up when she is crying but it's obviously a thing she has learned... if she cries, someone will pick her up and carry her around. She would rather be held with no toys or books than sitting alone with toys but no people nearby.
Tomorrow is supposed to be another rainy weekend day. We would love to take Emma for more springtime walks in the stroller, but it seems like the weather is nice when we're at work and then rains all weekend every time.
