Standing with aid

Raphael stood holding onto the bars of his big brother's cot in the evening that he got home from hospital. He did not stand up by himself, but rather was placed on his feet with his hands holding onto he bars to support himself. He only held himself there for a few seconds but I still think that this is a step forward in his gross motor development.

Since the first time that he moved from crawling to sitting by himself twice on that first day he has not done it again, maybe it had something to do with him falling over both times and hurting himself.

However, he has pulled himself to kneeling a few times since he did it for the first time.
