Janine is more confident crawling and standing. She may crawl upstairs and walk while you hold both her hands. She may stand briefly on her own or with her handbeing held and may use the furniture to move or sidestep while keeping her balance. She is not yet able to move from standing to sitting. She gets herself into a sittingposition easily from lying but can’t yet move from sitting to standing without help, but will often use furniture to pull herself up. She sits quite happily while unsupported and pivots her body. She leans forward while sitting when she reaches for an item, and can lean back without losing her balance.
