I first blogged about Jaden learning to pull himself up inside his cot on 10 Sept (on Hari Raya Puasa). He was not very good at it then and was super careful & slow when he tries to stand up. Now, 2 weeks down the road, he is standing up like a pro. The moment I put him inside his cot, he will crawl towards his piano and starts pulling himself up. And when he is up, he will move slowly towards the other side of the cot and tries to pull out the knob (to open the door of the cot). Thank God you have to pull out both knobs at 2 extreme ends simultaneously to open the door, if not, he will probably let himself out very soon!
This is a video taken on 19 Sept, as me and hubby watched in total amusement how the little boy moves closer to the rail to stand up steadily. You will notice at first he was standing further away from the edge, then he slowly put his hand down to adjust his steps to get closer to the rails so he could stand up more steadily.

This is another video taken on 21 Sept, when my sister came over to visit Jaden. He shows off big time by standing up more than 5 minutes. He is very good at standing up but still clumsy at sitting down from standing. He will just let go of his hands abruptly and plong his buttocks on the mattress like a big potato, lol. Too bad I didn't manage to capture it on video, because I have to stop recording everytime after he has been standing too long to make him sit down. I hope you can imagine him doing that.
Last night as he was trying to pull out the knob, he noticed the teddy bear which is hung facing outward and he managed to put his hand through the rail and reach for the teddy bear.
*Playing with the knob*

This morning while I was still sleeping, I heard him calling for me from the cot (yes, he can call me with "uh... uh.. uh"), and when I open my eyes, I see him standing up at the piano side. I think very soon we have to lower the mattress to the lowest level and remove the piano so he won't be able to step on it and climb out from the cot. I am sure at the rate he is going, he will learn to step on the piano very soon.
