Jack helped me clean out the lazy susan yesterday. He was very helpful: he organized the tea box, put the sweet n' lows in the towel drawer, dumped and ate cheerios and oatmeal, and helped me dust by using his pjs as a dust rag.
Jack isn't showing any interest in learning to stand with our help... but he obviously can give it a try when he's in the mood!
We've noticed that Jack has an interest in 'putting things places". I don't have a better term for it, but basically he likes to put toys and other objects in his favorite hiding spots. This is a great skill when it's time to clean up toys, and he's been a big help when doing laundry! Often, if he's missing a block or a Little People animal, I'll find it behind the DVR. He also likes to scoot over to the landing and put his cars on the first step. Yesterday I caught him hiding his train blocks under the chair in the living room. I'm not sure why he likes to do this, and we've found toys hidden in random places throughout the house. He even managed to toss a bottle of conditioner down a vent last month. (Luckily Jacob was able to follow the vent and find it in the basement.)
Here's a quick peak at one of his favorite hiding places:
