Tiptoes

Even with the standing now, and the fact that he's 32 inches tall at 11 months old, Troy has started to realize that there is still more world above his gaze. He's also realized that some things have depth and go down and the only way to see into them is to look over something else. I'm not sure where he learned it, or maybe it's just built-in instinct, but he's started to stand on his tiptoes to getting a better view of things. It's absolutely adorable to see him lift up onto his little toes to reach something or look over something. To see him balance with all of the confidence of someone that has been doing this all of their life. I am utterly fascinated at little things like this that he does. I know that standing up on my tiptoes is nothing at all. I do it effortlessly and without even thinking. But for Troy it's a new level of strength and development. I wonder if he consciously thinks about it, or if like me, he just does it.
