Debout!

Since the end of August, Mathias can pull himself up on his own. He discovered this new skill in his crib and has been practicing ever since. Every chance he gets, he does it...on everything -- the rocking chair, his jumperoo, the garbage can, etc. Of course I stand behind him and catch him when he falls...most of the time! As you can see in these photos, he is very proud of his accomplishment.

Late August Brunch in Andersonville with Steve and Tina

Steve and Tina were in town late August to celebrate Ines starting college. She is a freshman at Columbia College and it's been great having her in Chicago. Mathias especially enjoys having his aunt around -- the more attention he gets, the better!
