Standing is all we want to do now days

So, about two weeks ago, Marshall decided that all he wanted to do was spend the entire day standing up at the plinth in the living room. He has been doing this every day since. That's all he wants to do is find something to pull up onto and stand up. It's crazy because Mark and I have spent countless hours working on this with him and he has been able to do it for a while with assistance; however, he has just never had the desire to do it independently. We can't keep him from grabbing onto anything and everything and trying to stand up. He is grabbing onto the freezer door, the handles on the kitchen cabinets, the couch, the recliner, the ottoman, the highchair, even the gate. We have been trying to let him explore and enjoy this new found fun; however, it has been so exhausting keeping a hand ready to catch him when he falls, or keep an eye on him and make sure he isn't trying to stand up on top of Jordan. Crazy how we are at this point, exciting things are to come, I'm sure of it. I may be crazy by then, but it will all be worth it.
