At his six month appointment, the doctor went through the list of things that a child of that age should be doing ... grasping for things, making eye contact, starting to eat solid foods ... check, check, check. So far, so good. The former teacher in me was getting excited about our 100%!! Then she threw a curve ball. "Is he sitting up?" " Yes," I said confidently. Then, I began fidgeting and looking around. Not wanting my lie exposed, I clarified ... "What do you mean my sitting up?" Umm .. I already have a child. I knew perfectly well what she meant by sitting up but I was hoping she'd give me a loose definition of "sitting" that Eli would fit into. "Well, can he sit - by himself - briefly?" "Oh, okay!" I responded. "Briefly. Sure, he can do that!"
One one thousand ...
One one thousand ...
Two one thousand ...
Three one thousand!Well, I feel better about confessing that already.
I LOVE the flop-over!

ReplyDeleteUmm, did you hear about the almost 11 month old who doesn't crawl yet? I'm seriously thinking about contacting an OT...seriously.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I love the taco! They're so cute folded over in half! :)
Amelia didn't sit up till almost 8 months and I never realized it ws "late" until later when I read it in some book. It's amazing how well she sits up now. I think she's just about caught up.
ReplyDeleteHave I mentioned that Eli has the cutest face? He does...
Hee hee. He's so cute!
ReplyDeleteI love the picture progression. I'll bet he's sitting up by preschool.
