Annabelle is pulling up now and she means business. If it can support her weight, she will shimmy herself up to standing. The first day or two we oohed and aahed with "new" parent fascination and awe! Pictures were taken and videos were made (which will be shared this week for sure!) Our baby girl is mobile and standing - we couldn't believe it! Then naptime and nighttime came...but who needs sleep when you can STAND UP?!? All day (and night) long - STANDING UP. Here is the new routine - standing, then crying for help, then falling, then crying, then soothed by mama, then standing...again and again. We rocked her to sleep; we tried patting her back in her crib; we used a sleep sack. The minute we lay her back down, she is right back up. It is precious and all, but holy goodness we need some sleep - all of us do! The words "duct tape" were even uttered sometime in the night by my sweet husband. He kids. I think.
What do we do? Does this just last for a while and then stop?

Hopefully just a short phase, but you can work with her by teaching her how to sit back down...Ella would just plop down. I don't remember this lasting more than a week or so at most. I think they eventually learn to fall gracefully back down.
