Will the real Vidur please stand up?

Vidur is now standing! He grabbed on to the cushion of the sofa and stood (while his maternal grandmother was watching him on webcam! He was actually making a desperate attempt to reach the laptop.) Now that he has learnt to stand holding on to something, all he does is practice this newly acquired skill.

I have a three seater and two single seaters. He stands holding on to one and then scans the sofa for remotes, camera, paper, toys. If there is nothing on the sofa, he quickly sits and tries another sofa. This continues over and over again. I try moving him near the dining area. He then tries to reach the tablecloth with the intention of standing. He tries to hold on to the chair, but the chair moves away so he decides against this option. When I put him in the kitchen, he tries to stand by transferring his weight on the fridge! He tries climbing holding the wall, the door, pillow.... guess, when he wants to master a skill, he really tries everything.

PS: Title inspired by Eminem's Will the real slim shady please stand up
