Baby wants to stand up

This is just a quick one, and even as I’m writing it I know it’s ridiculous. I don’t have anyone I can ask in real life though, so I’d be grateful for a little advice.

My DD is eight months old and can pull herself up to stand. She’s still a bit wobbly and I am always with her when she’s trying to do this. Standing is currently her favourite thing to do and she gets a bit grumpy when she wants to stand and can’t. I look around my home for things for her to pull up on, and there is almost nothing that is the right height or safe, even with my help and very close supervision. At the moment I sit on the floor with her and she mostly just holds onto my shoulders and feels pleased with herself. Or holds my hands and takes these funky little steps. It’s very cute! Just wondering if anyone had any ideas of what she could use for standing, and especially for pulling up to stand. Not asking for anything that she can use independently, just something sturdy and safe, if a toy then something that will last a while as I’m sure in the next couple of weeks she’ll be doing something else haha. Thanks so much.

@Sunnydaysstillhere that really made me laugh!! I don’t think she’s quite there yet but I do think she’ll be early to walk. She’s so funny. When she takes her little steps holding your hands she looks like she’s doing the tipsy dance walk to the dance floor at a wedding Grin
