Day 67

Today, at 8.5 months old, my baby learned to sit!!! Some of you may be a little confused as to why I am happy my baby is sitting at 8.5 months so let me explain a little better. In actuality, Nate has been sitting unassisted since about 4.5 months. Today, we were trying really hard to get crawling down. Nate would move his legs and then get confused as to when to move his arms. He would eventually give up and belly flop. Well in his determination he realized that he can push himself up while on his hands and knees, swing his legs around from back to front and push himself to a sitting position. I can now say that there is very little chance of him crawling now since every time he gets on all 4's he pushes himself into a sitting position. But, boy is he proud of himself!! And I am proud of him too! Since learning his new trick, my little booger has learned how to sit in his crib now. This makes for an interesting nap and bed time.
