He sits!

It took 11 months and 1 day but the Monkey has finally figure out how to go from a laying position to sitting all on his own! Last night he did it twice and today he's been at it non-stop! He's a master in only 2 days. :) He even did it in his crib at nap time (which, of course, made falling asleep take much longer than it use to). Today Zach and I lowered the crib level to the lowest setting. I tried not to think about what we were doing because the last time we moved the mattress down I cried. I wanted to avoid that again today so I just went through the motions.

Along the same vein of lowering the crib, yesterday I disassembled his swing, jumperoo and play mat and put them in his closet to store them. I hated to do it but they are all things he doesn't use anymore. Now that he's army crawling and sitting and pulling up to standing he doesn't really enjoy the jumperoo, he's too big for the swing (and hasn't used it in months now) and doesn't use the play mat either. It's so sad to put these things away! Next step on the Monkey development ladder is either crawling (with his tummy off the floor) or walking. We can only guess what he'll decide to jump to next!
