Officially a Sitter!

At Lissie's four-month checkup, the doc said that she'll be looking for Lissie to sit on her own by her next visit.

Challenge accepted.

Lissie and I have been practicing our sitting skills ever since then:

Propped up on her dino/dragon thing....

With Sophie....

With Pooh and her Boppy pillow

And, finally last Saturday, we started to make significant progress:



So much so that we tried sitting in the shopping cart on Sunday:

But we still weren't quite ready, as you can see by her lean.

Fast forward just three days later...

She can sit up AND empty out all of the contents of her toy basket!

She can sit up in the shopping cart without leaning! (She got startled/confused when an announcement was made on the loudspeaker.)

And she can sit up on her activity mat and practice her boxing skills:



Way to go, Lissie! See? Practice makes perfect...and we're still a few weeks away from your 6-month doctor's visit!
