She stood up!

So A's in the living room, tearing up various newspapers and magazines again. I turn away to talk to JJ, then turn back. I find A unsupported, halfway from a squat to free-standing, and as I watch, she gets fully upright!

Of course, I then realize that she's standing on slippery paper on a tile floor, with a stone mantle a foot behind her. So I get JJ's attention and scoot as fast as I can over to her to get a hand behind her without scaring her.

She stands up, tears some more paper, and gently sits back down.

Wow!

It was an odd way to stand up, though. She didn't push up with her arms, she just squatted and pushed herself up. That takes some really great balance!
