While I was cleaning out the hall closet, Matthew found the child carrier and had the fun idea to carry his lion around.  He was thrilled, even though the pack was so heavy it nearly knocked him down!

He then decided it was his new favorite place to sit while watching TV.  He even buckles himself in complete "to be safe"

He wanted to put Meredith in the pack (he started to try to put her in all by himself!) but she was having too much fun practicing her new skill of pulling herself up to standing position.  She has been trying to do this for awhile now and after she did it for the first time she started to show off and pull herself up on everything like it was the easiest thing in the world.  It's great to see how delighted she gets with herself when she does it.  Before we know it she will be walking!
