Ladies & Gentlemen, we have a sitter! A real unassisted-for-a-very-long-time sitter.
Monkey has been, uh, balancing himself I guess you would say, while sitting assisted for a few seconds for a couple of weeks now.
I’ve felt like he was thisclose to the real thing, but he would always topple over to the side after 10 seconds max. Today we were playing on his mat & I let go of him to see what would happen.
After he held his “I’m sitting like a big boy” position consistently without falling, I yelled down to Tarzan that our little boy is growing up. Then we skyped with the grandparents (Tarzan’s dad & stepmom) & showed them the big news. It was slightly funny because they looked at me like, “Yeah, he’s sitting, ok” so I explained to them that sitting unassisted is huge in baby world. Then they got it. & then they started showing some excitement. Ha, ha.
Sometimes these big baby things just need to be explained I suppose.
But yeah, our little boy is growing. He’s already 5.5 months, sitting up, & growing like a weed. Next thing I know he’ll be crawling & eating solid foods. Wow, watching your baby grow up is absolutely amazing. & a little sad because it happens SO fast.
But all sadness aside, he’s growing up whether I like it or not. Hey Monkey, you can crawl soon, but slow down after that! I don’t want my baby growing up THAT fast. OK?

I'm looking forward to my little girl learning to sit. Then she can stop! Right now she always demands we prop her up with a pillow or bouncer if she's awake since she wants to see everything. And my goodness, if she falls down or ends up on her back do we hear about it! She's 12 weeks right now!
