Sitting Tall

Eli can sit. I know I've posted before that he can sit, but he's getting so much better at it. Renae suggested that I put the boppy seat around him to help support him a bit, and break his fall if he does fall, and that seems to help...

..and he does fall...

..and then realizes it's kinda fun to be semi-upside down. He'll hang out there for a bit, and realize he's stuck...and then let me know he's stuck.

Then we discovered as long as he has something to play with in his hands, he really does pretty good sitting up without support.

Although daddy's close by to make sure he doesn't fall and knock his head on the floor. :)

He is quite pleased with himself!

Actually, the day I discovered that he could sit on his own was Friday when I took him to get his picture taken. I got a coupon for a free 8x10 from the Picture People, so we went and got a free shot :) This is actually a picture of the picture we got. Anyway, when I went in the photographer asked how old he was, and if he could sit on his own. I said 'well...he can, for about a second...' So she took some shots on his belly-very cute :) Then she had me sit him up-and he sat on his own for about 10 minutes! I couldn't believe it! I kept saying 'he couldn't do that yesterday!'

Amazing what they learn in their sleep...
