He did it, he did it!

It is with great pride that I document another milestone in my little boy's life - drumroll, please -

Owen stood up on his own for several 10-15 second increments last night!

OK, OK, I can see how that may not be as exciting as walking, per se, but it's a step closer. Should I be excited about the walking thing? Or scared? :) Heh. He has stood up on his own before, but that was only for like 2 or 3 seconds top.

And I gotta say (Lord, I hope I'm not jinxing it, knock on wood), he's v. v. good at it. He climbs up, and then just let's go of something and stands. And looks around. He even has his hands in puppy hand mode sometimes (imagine a dog sitting up with his front paws in the air). The coolest part? When he's tired of standing on his own, he puts his hands back on the table or toy box and lowers himself back down, or just continues playing. He flopped on his bum once and just looked at himself like, hmm, dunno if I like that.

Anyway, I don't know if any of that is "normal" - but I'm excited and so proud of the little guy. He's damn cute. And I've been really bad with pics lately - our computer at home is on the fritz, so I haven't been able to DL many new pics or burn any CDs. My deepest, deepest apologies!

We're going to putz around w/it this w/e, so hopefully it'll get better. After spending all day on the computer at work, neither Ryan or I want to touch the one at home. ;)
