Not amused by the whole phase of trying to stand

I was so excited to see Tigger crawl and couldn't wait for her to crawl, but now we are in the stage of pulling to stand and letting go....this milestone is NOT so much fun.  Why?  hmmmm let's see, pulling up on unsuitable furniture means falling backwards.....pulling up and letting go means toppling forward and getting a bloody lip grrrrrr......pulling up and standing means sometimes missing the mark and bonking your head....or pulling up while I'm getting the bathtub ready and trying to fall headfirst into water....NOT OK.  So unlike the crawling phase which was so much fun, this phase isn't working out for me.
