(They Say That) Sitting Up Is Hard To Do-o

But my girl makes it look so easy...








Although this is the result of several months of progress, she's been able to spend more than a few seconds sitting up on her own (we sit her up, because she can't get there by herself) for about a week now...all she's got left to learn is how to break the fall...

    Oh wow, how fun!!! The "breaking the fall" skill came waaaaaaaaay after the sitting up thing for all of our kids. In fact, with all the bumps and bruises and owies that seem to happen, I'm still not sure they've mastered it!

    So fun to see Gwyneth upright on her own! Enjoy the new view, Gwyneth (and get used to lots of random tipping over for a while!).

    It is so fun to watch how they seem to rediscover the world all over again once they gain this new angle. She'll be entertained just sitting there looking around for longer now.

    Yay, Gwyneth! I have a hard time sitting up sometimes, too, girlfriend, so you just keep working at it! I love, love the feet out in front, especially in the pics where they look SO much bigger than the rest of her. Somehow it makes me think of all things Pooh.... and Tigger... and Piglet...

    i thought this was the best baby stage - sitting up before mobility - you can plop them down for a long time and not worry and they keep themselves entertained so you can do something else. plus she looks so super cute. :)

    Wow - this is a great accomplishment! I love the way Meka is watching from behind. We tried putting pillows in back and beside of the little ones to help with those tip overs until they got the hang of it later!
    Gweneth, you are a precious gift from God and many of us enjoy watching your journey on what God has in store for you!
    Loving you from afar in Michigan,

    Awesome!!! That's so much fun! Breaking the fall is certainly an acquired skill... one that my little guy wasn't too interested in acquiring. He thought it was fun to fall backwards and we finally figured out after a few months he was doing it on purpose! :) Yeah Gwyneth! Before you know it you'll be chasing her!

    Faith didn't learn to sit up until she was about 14 months old. At 21 months, she still cann't get up on her own, but she sure rolls everywhere. It's an amazing feeling to see their accomplishments, especially when they got such a rough start in life.

    You go girl (Gwyneth). Way to make a lot of people proud. Keep up the hard work.
