This is what Jayden looked like on Friday when he was trying to stand up and move - he was a little wobbly and kept his legs far apart.
But by the end of the day today he did it in about 4.5 seconds. He's been working really hard over the past four or five days at straightening his legs out and pushing up. But he is proof that hard work does pay off.
This is the very first time ever that he climbed up a stair. And I managed to capture it on video. Amazing! So it didn't really take 10 minutes, but it took a little while. Later on, which I didn't get on video, he did it almost automatically.
Today we went to my friend Shilpa's daughter's birthday at the children's museum that we love going to together. It was so cute - and Jayden had so much fun. I can't wait until we can go again in October; who knows, maybe he'll be walking by then!

Jayden is definitely getting over a cold - his nose is runny, he's got a cough I can hear in his chest sometimes - it makes me so sad. His fever finally broke Wednesday morning (thank goodness), but he still hasn't been 100%. He's been pretty tired - Friday night he slept a little more than 11 hours which is pretty incredibly for him - but not lethargic or anything. We're hoping tomorrow can be a relaxed day, a lot of football of course, maybe a little swimming and probably multiple laps around the living room chasing the baby. Woo hoo!
I am just thankful that the third week of the month is over. Besides Jayden's achievements, the highlight was definitely seeing the Endeavor. It traveled all over California on Friday, including over Disney California Adventure, which meant that I got to see it! The picture does not do it justice, but it's proof nonetheless. The plane was HUGE, and it was amazing to see the space shuttle on top of the 747. The pilots flying that plane had the best job ever that day.

I wish Jayden were old enough to see it. If so, I would've picked him up from daycare and ran (aka drove as fast as I could) to California Adventure to see it. But, since the Endeavor will be at a museum in LA for the foreseeable future, as soon as he's old enough to appreciate it we'll take a trip up there to see it. Such a cool opportunity for him (and for us)!
