And the presidential physical fitness award goes to Riley for outstanding strength in pull-ups. It's important to note that she isn't even 7 months old yet. As quoted from "Maternal & Child Health Nursing" by Adele Pillitteri (2006):
"A 9-month-old child can stand holding onto a coffee table if he or she is placed in that position. Some 9-month-old children can pull up to that position. Ten-month-old children can pull themselves into a standing position by holding onto the side of a playpen or a low table, but they cannot let themselves down again as of yet" (p. 831).
So, that means that Riley beat out babies about 1 1/2 times her age!
