Sitting Pretty...

This week I practiced sitting up. Auntie Ty and Grammy U were here to help steady me when I needed it. Now I can do it for a long stretch of time. I can also sit without someone behind me. It is still nice if someone is there because sometimes I look and then fall over. Mama sometimes sits me in front of the piano; I love the songs it can play! I'm 26 weeks old now and will be 6 months old next Sunday. That is also Grandpa U's birthday. I have a check up at the doctor's office next week. They will probably stick my legs with a needle. I don't like that. But the nice Dr. Hernandez is always asking me to show off what I can do. Last time I didn't want to. Now I can do a bunch of things so maybe I will show off one or two. One thing is for sure, I am growing! I am getting bigger and taller all the time. Mama just started washing my "big" clothes (6-9 month or 6-12 month things.)
I went to my first football game last night. Daddy and Mama went to a local high school game. I went too and spent most of it in the Snugli. It was cold and windy, but I was toasty inside Mama's coat and lots of blankets. It was so loud there I couldn't sleep so I let them know. We went home after halftime. It was very exciting. People were yelling or jumping up & throwing things in the air. I think next year I might stay home and let them go by themselves. I'm so little they might mistake me for the ball!

More milestones...

Today I sat all by myself for 3 minutes. Mama left the room for a minute but I was strong and didn't fall over. I think all that cereal is good for my tummy muscles. I'm getting bigger all the time! I'm getting really good at rolling and can roll over several times in a row. Sometimes Mama and Daddy wonder how I got into new places. I rolled! And now I can sit too! Pretty soon I'll figure out how to reach those toys they keep putting in front of me. Maybe next week.
