Little man pulled himself up today!!

I'm so excited!! My youngest who is 7 1/2 months old pulled himself up for the first time today. It was at the end of our StrollerFit® class when all the kids were playing on the mat and he went right over to the couch that is there and pulled himself up. He just seems way too little to be standing there but he's doing it. My older son Jacob was advanced with his motor skills and looks like little man Zane might also develop early.
Our pediatrician said that children tend to develop earlier when they see their parents being physically active. I believe she said that most kids don't jump with two feet together until they are about 2 1/2 and Jacob was jumping at around 18 months. I truly believe it's because he saw all the mommies (including myself) at our stroller fitness class (StrollerFit) jumping, running, etc. They imitate what they see their parents doing so all you moms and dads out there, workout with your baby/toddler/child whenever possible!
