Pulling to Stand

Just yesterday Ben began pulling to a stand while in his crib.  He loves standing!  It is fun to watch him make the decision to try to stand.  First, he gingerly leans forward to grab the top of the crib.  When he has a firm grip, he pulls himself up.  He has the biggest smile when he's fully upright!

Ben's neurologist reviewed the video of Ben's eye rolling and he doesn't think it is a seizure.  He recommended an EEG later this week to make sure but said he would support me if I wanted to hold off.  Ben hasn't rolled his eyes since Sunday and then it only happened once.  I think the chances of him performing during the half hour EEG are slim to none.  So we will not have the EEG done now.  I hate making these decisions!  If this behavior starts up again, I can call for an EEG appointment right away.  So no trip to Cleveland this week.  We can stay home and play!

Look at him go! So glad the neurologist isn't concerned about seizures. Sounds like you're making a wise choice. How stressful would it be going for an EEG and HOPING that he does it?? Almost impossible. Hoping everything stays good and have fun playing at home.

Yaaay Ben!!!!! This is one of the milestones I got super excited for when Russell finally did it...I think he was about 18 months old...I remember screaming and then bursting into tears when I turned to see Russell standing in his crib! lol
This is so great for Ben to be able to do, it shows how much upper body strength he has!!!

I'm so relieved to hear the Doctors do not think it is seizures!! Hopefully he doesn't do it anymore.

Hooray! Our doctor thought the eye-rolling didn't sound like seizures either. Enjoy staying home! :) And seriously....could Ben be any cuter?!
