Still Jumping

Rai, we're trying hard to get you interested in crawling. Still, no matter how much 'tummy time' we give you, or no matter how many times we get you in the 'crawling posture, you seem uninterested in the entire process.
Hey, but once we grab you and stand you on your feet, now THAT'S a different story. Once on your feet, a huge smile crosses your face and you started to wave your arms around while letting out some happy sounds. You 'walk' around, relying on our hands supporting you just under your arms. It's the same thing with your doorway jumper. You'll take an hour in the jumper over even 20 seconds on your tummy any day! We can leave you in the harness for 10 minutes, walk away, and know that when we return, you'll still be jumping happily.
I guess you just prefer being on your feet over crawiling around on your knees. What's that saying again? "It's better to die on your feet than to live on your knees." For you, it could be: "It's better to live on your feet than lie face to the ground on your knees." Makes sense.
