The Standing Game

A few days ago, Jesse and I started playing the "sit up" game with Miles. It consisted of us propping him at a 45º angle, having him grasp our fingers, and we'd pull him up to a sitting position. He quite enjoyed the game. It quickly morphed into him straightening his legs and going into a full on stand. Unfortunately, we've created a monster. Every time he lays down or sits in our lap, he lunges his head forward (like he's trying to do crunches) and shoots out his arms. Our infant practically demands to do the standing game all the time.

Here are two videos from last evening:
