Sitting Up





We've been working on sitting up with Catherine, and yesterday the light went off in the baby brain. The first time she managed to stay upright just long enough for me to snap the picture before tipping over. Unfortunately, I was ill prepared for this, and she hit her head on the floor. Although the floor is well carpeted, she did not appreciate the thud her head made. Today we built a baby arena of pillows around her, and what do you know, Catherine says she doesn't need them! She sat unassisted for at least 5 minutes while playing with the little Fisher Price laptop. We titled the second photo "A Geek is Born".

One other exciting thing happening for us is that Catherine is getting up on all fours. I managed to snap this picture today just before she tumbled over on her face. Being a baby is hard work!
