Matthew is now 5 months and 6 days old. Time to time, we would tell him to do certain things, like "leg up" when we want to take him up from his high chair, "let go" when he pulls or tags at our hair or spectacles, "hold" when we want him to hold on to the side of the bathtub or a toy.

Today he demonstrated that he understood these commands in different situations. He has learned to stand supported. So when all opportunities arise, he would want to "stand". It is now difficult to try and dress him. When we tried to wear his pants standing, we said "leg up" and he actually lifted his leg!
