Competitive Already?



When Addison came over to play this past Sunday, Collin noticed that she could sit up on her own...and for a long period of time before she would bend all the way over to touch her toes. He had never thought of this before and had not asked me to help him do it. He has used his chair before to sit up or sat up when he was propped against something. We have not really tried to see what would happen if I sat him up and then let go. Last night, Collin let me know that he was ready and wanted to try but not right after he ate. He wanted to be able to sit up and play with Addison the next time they had a play date. So....Collin and I tried it out to see what would happen and.....he DID sit up on his own.....for about 10 seconds before he tipped over. Chloe, our calico cat, was standing by to cheer him on when he tried it again. After a few tries, he was able to sit up for about 15 seconds this time before falling over. He decided that sitting up was hard work and he preferred tummy time over this....for now. Especially with his cool, new shades.

That is a very cute photo of Collin in this blog. He looks like a little man :) So I guess I should be sitting Matthew up soon to see how he does. Lately, he has regressed and doesn't even like to roll over.
