Sitting pretty!?

Okay, so yesterday I wrote that Sophia is "sitting" up by herself. It's a bit of an exaggeration but that's okay --parent's prerogative. To show you what Sophia is up to I took a couple of pictures last night, sort of for proof or evidence of what I am talking about.




As you can see, she's more resting her belly on her legs than sitting, but she is doing it on her own nonetheless. She's working pretty hard at it and truly loves to see the world (and be a part of it) in an upright position. That way she can get her hands on more things that can go into her mouth. Good or bad, not too sure yet. She's not quite proficient yet at the whole rolling over thing, but that will come when she is ready. Actually, I am willing to wait for that. I've heard stories of 3 am wails from stomach stranded babies. Oh, and she is very happy to "stand" and bear weight on her legs --actually she's able to stand on her own (with a supportive parent very close by) for short periods of time.

All of this change is quite fun to watch. Our little pumpkin is wowing us everyday. We so look forward to years of "wowing".

LOVE the four-point sit! Thanks for the pictures and the stories -- it really does bring you all closer. As for the giggle... is there any better sound in the world? I think you should bottle it and sell it in the drugstore. No prescription necesssary, an organic substitute for anti-depressants. Can't wait to hear it for ourselves! I may have to come for a fix before Christmas...
All our love,
