Today was a big day for this move, the big balance, the ultimate stand still. Nora managed about twenty seconds, roughly twice as long as her past standing records. All days leading up to this one have been one-shot deals or part of the 1-2-3 Stand! game I play with her (which she thinks is hilarious), but today was just hanging out all baby loiterer style. She spent a good portion of the day leaning against objects for balance and then not. Standing!
(In case you're curious, she's not on pins and needles about anything she's looking at here, she's just shoving seaweed into her mouth. In case you are further curious, why yes! that is a new refrigerator in our hallway!)
In other news of physical wonderment, Nora wowed everyone at our apartment building's gathering on Sunday by performing her trick of scooting up to a table, reaching up to the tabletop and then swinging from it. Wait, I don't think that was clear: she holds onto the table and SWINGS from it like some sort of baby presidential fitness champion.
I have yet to locate SWINGS FROM TABLETOP on any list of milestones.
I suspect it might not exist.

I suspect that "Swings from Tabletop" is on a lesser-known list of milestones.
Like, perhaps, just yours. But hey, that's a good place for it!
Personally, I'm working toward "able to do a handstand" (really-- it's a class thing). Just to prove that all milestones are predictable!
WHOA!@#)($*@#)$(*
It is *totally* on the list of milestones for cheeky little chimpanzees.
Go Nora, go! Stand up for your rights.
I was in the park today and all the kids here have British accents! It is so cool.
jesus god, she's cute! And gymnastic!
