Caleb has been trying to pull up for a while, but his arms just haven't been strong enough to do much. On Monday, he made some great progress toward being able to pull up on his own! He was sitting on a block (well, actually it was two phone books duct-taped together), and he reached for me. I held out my fingers, and he grabbed ahold. I didn't pull him at all, but I just gave him a stable place to hang onto. With what seemed like very little effort, he pulled up to standing! I was so surprised and proud! We did it over and over and over. And then we did it again when Brad got home from work, so that he could record it.
As Caleb gets stronger, we are going to have him sit on smaller blocks and then eventually the floor. I should note that on Tuesday afternoon, he did pull up a few times from sitting on the floor... but I could tell that it was pretty hard for him.
I prayed for this child, and the Lord has granted me what I asked of him. - 1 Samuel 1:27
