When can I be a big kid??

Steve and I have increasingly been noticing that Ben really wants to be able to get up and interact with the "big kids". This was even more evident when we were in Savoy this past weekend celebrating cousin Anne's 1st birthday. Ben was on the floor while Anne and Anne's cousin Ella were walking about - I swear that if Ben knew what jealousy was, he'd be feeling it! He continues to try to schooch forward when he's on his tummy, but no crawling yet. He also likes to stand whenever he can, particularly if you prop him next to a chair or some other sturdy item he can hold on to.
