Is walking in the near future?

Last night Jana and I had a great time playing with Drew. One of his new games is peek-a-boo, and usually it makes him laugh out loud. We played for a little while last night, but we were only able to coax a smile out of him at that point. Here is a video sample:

We placed Drew next to the couch and he stood next to the couch for a while, and then even took a few steps along the couch! He is getting so much better at standing and controlling his legs. We are keeping a careful eye on him because he'll be walking before we know it! Drew was quite entertained by us as he stood along the couch and on this video we really got him giggling.

After all the excitement of standing, Drew needed a break and dropped down to his knees. We were really impressed because he "stood up" on his knees for quite a while with just a hand on the couch.

Drew even occasionally removed his hands from the couch (Jana's not touching him) and "stood" unassisted on his knees for several seconds before reaching back to the couch for support. It was so much fun to watch Drew move and chat!
