An upright sort of day

On Wednesday, B-Boy had another first at daycare.

His teacher put him on his tummy to do some good tummy time. A little while later, she turned around and noticed he was SITTING UP!!!!

He did it again later, and that time she saw him do it. He got on all fours, and then pushed up with his hands. And Presto! He was sitting up!

He didn't show me until later that night... He was on his tummy, reaching for his pacifier. Once he got it, he pulled in his knees, got on all fours, leaned back until his bottom was on the floor and popped himself upright!

So B-Boy is now sitting up consistently... but he only does it from the "all fours" method. We shall see how long it takes him to figure out that there are other ways to sit up.

Sit Ups Anyone?

Yesterday, Neb played with B-Boy while I prepared his sweet potatoes. (See the previous post on this...)

He wanted to see if B-Boy would be able to sit on his own. It took several attempts... B-Boy would slump to one side, Neb would sit him back up, and then B-Boy would slump over again. This continued over and over... and each time he would stay upright for longer and longer.

Until he found the tag on the blanket he was sitting on. It first became something to chew on, but then it became an anchor to balance him with.

Sitting up is fun!

Then today at daycare, I placed B-Boy in a chair that has a slant to it. The chair has appeared in photos in several other posts... like this one. B-Boy refused to recline, and sat upright without the support behind him. I was shocked! He started bouncing in it, and stayed balanced the whole time.

So he is well on his way to sitting up by himself, and we hope to have news of repeated success to share with you soon.

Which reminds me, I took him to World Market today after work. (It's one of my favorite stores!) Inside was the cutest andirondack chair for kids in bright RED. I don't think it is intended to sit an almost 7 month old, but he fit in it pretty darn well.

He really liked the chair. I took a photo to share with you.

I like this chair Mommy! It's an Ole Miss color!

We may have to go back to get it. Neb and I both have a chair so we can sit on the screened porch, shouldn't B-Boy?
