DJ is getting closer to standing on his own.

DJ's ability to stand nearly on his own has definitely improved over the last week. He pulls up like a champ. It doesn't matter to him if the thing he's pulling up on is sturdy. He'll pull up anyway. Then once he's up, he feels comfortable enough to hold on with only one hand. He has the confidence to bend down to pick something up with one hand while lightly holding on to something with the other. Today, he was holding onto Steve's shirt, but he wasn't using it to steady himself. And finally, he's cruising (transferring what he's holding on to to move from one thing to another) much more confidently. He's not ready to walk just yet, but he's learning to take guided steps a little more frequently. Way to go Little Guy!!
