She Chose… Up?

A month to the day after we had to lower her crib because she had started sitting up own, Kinley’s starting to pull — or push — up around the house.

She has thought standing is just about the best thing ever for a while now. Usually, it was mom or I that would pick her up and hold her steady while she looked around with a huge smile. Now we offer her a little stability, but she has to do most of the work.

Her first solo success came leaning against and pushing up on little red, cloth storage bins we keep downstairs with her stuff. She’s definitely a little problem solver, using the smaller bin as a bit of a stepping stone to get her to the window sill or the couch.

RSV Season Wrap Up

Kinley saw the pulmonologist for a general check up and to plan ahead for next RSV season. As usual, she got a full weigh in and measure: 8.62 kg (19 lbs.) and 69.5 cm (about 27 3/8 inches). That puts her around the 70th percentile for weight and 50th for height.

Her doctor was very happy with her progress. We’ll likely start back up with her not-so-fun RSV vaccinations in September.
