Time to lower the crib mattress

A few days ago, I noticed Joey would sit up in his crib when he was awake. That was cute. He's even pulled up to his knees before, still very cute. Well, at naptime today, he thought it would be fun to stand up in his crib. He was so excited about it, he wouldn't settle down, and kept doing it every time I put him back in the crib. So, I took a break and read him a book with MJ before MJ's nap. That made him realize he was tired and he fell back to sleep in his crib. Geesh!

 

 

He's also been after our steps...which are really great practice steps b/c there are only 2 of them and he doesn't have far to fall.

 

MJ has been doing really well. He really enjoyed "babysitting" again as we call it when I go to teach and he hangs out in the nursery. And he takes good care of Joey and I. While I wouldn't put all of my faith into MJ watching Joey, at times when Joey is doing something dangerous (like eating paper) I hear MJ say "No, Joey" and take it away from him. Then he gives him another toy to play with instead. So sweet!
