When Markus returned on Sunday night after a whole week travelling, Jakob was asleep, but woke up soon and could not believe his eyes. He looked up several times in order to get fully convinced after a few minutes that his eyes did not betray him and that what hew saw was not a fata morgana which disappeared gain: Dad standing in front of him. Once he realised that Markus was definitely back our junior was all smiling and wide awake. During the following days Jakob familiarised himself again with Markus.
Not having seen our little treasure for seven days made all the developments much more obvious to Markus. While Jakob has picked a lot of small bits and pieces in his growth he did surprised Kerstin and Markus big time on Friday morning when they sat Jakob into his cot in order to be able to get changed and ready for the day. Not only that Jakob did move from a sitting position into a knee-stand which enables him to bite on the railings of his bed, but he moved on and pulled himself up into a standing position and so suddenly the little man was standing in his cot, grinning all over and leaning over the railing.
Freedom = standing on the own feet without help
Kerstin and Markus were full of joy and pride about this move and at the same time concerned that the railing might not be high enough so that Jakob could drop out of his cot. So probably his mattress has to be lowered yet again. Anyhow, this major step could be the beginning of even more mobility in our junior’s life and even more attention we need to dedicate to Jakob going forward.
Look at me - I did that all by myself
Jakob, Kerstin & Markus

Hallo meine Lieben!
Jakob ist so süss, ich verfolge ständig euren Blog.Es gibt nichts schöneres, als die Entwicklung eines Babys zum Kleinkind zu verfolgen. Der Blog ist die beste Einrichtung, damit auch Freunde an eurem Liebling teilhaben können.
LG aus Oberwart Irene L.
