Yah! He is spending a lot of time upright and he can climb off the couch and back on, takes him a while though.
He can stand on his own for 10-15 seconds, he just needs to figure out that he can take a step forward when he's out of balance.
He's about -300 to walk before he turns one on Jan. 1.
The wife thinks he said "daddy" earlier to try and get my attention, but I'm not convinced. He's prolly gonna take longer to start talking 'cause we're using 2 languages at home.
