Getting ready to walk?!?

We're not ready! Alex is practicing pulling himself up on furniture and then letting go! He can stand there for 5-10 seconds before he goes down. It's just amazing that he has learned how this works. We are just no where near ready for it! We have so much baby-proofing to do! He is nodding yes and no and just exploring everything. He studies things very intensely and I'm sure he's trying to figure out how to take things apart. He loves books and being read to...it's great! He loves all of his Winnie the Pooh books the best...especially "Guess Who?" I'm so glad that he likes books already and it's about the only way I can get him to sit still with me!
