pulling up and showing some personality

This video clip was taken before we went to the lake over a week and a half ago (Caleigh was about 8 months and 1 week).  She had just started to pull up on stuff before we went to the lake.  Her favorite thing to pull up on before we left was her little musical table.  
As you can see in the video Caleigh is also really starting to have a will.  She tries to pull herself up and then when she can't do it she throws a little tantrum to show us that she is frustrated with herself.  She is also persistent - she will try and try again to pull herself up.
All of that persistence has paid off though because now she is pulling up on EVERYTHING.   She has even taken to a modified form of crawling - she crawls with one foot up as if she is half walking.  She also has really good balance and sometimes will let go of whatever she was holding on to and just stand alone for several seconds.  It is so fun to see her grow up and change.  She is getting so big!  We go for her 9 month appointment on Aug. 28th and we are excited to see how big she really is.

I love that her toy is cheering her on, too!
