Sitting Up

Milestones: seems like yesterday Will couldn't hold his head up and now he's maneuvering around, pulling up, crawling short distances, and just this week, learning to sit up on his own. He's also learning to stand up against the chair, holding his weight with little assistance, though his favorite thing right now is, bouncy, bouncy, bouncy! (jumping up and down) Which makes for an interesting situation when he wants to hold on to something standing up on his own, then jump right into bouncy, bouncy, bouncy; not giving us any warning! Let's face it our little man is growing! I keep trying to capture some of this on the video camera, but every time it dings to record, Mr. Will stops what he's doing to stare at the camera. Boy, do I have a lot of the same video....blank stares!

I did capture the first time he sat from a laying position on camera, thought I'd share it.

This is how we play with our toys now, dump the basket and dive right in.

A little more and he's got it!

Almost...

Success!!!!

It's so exciting to watch him go thru all of this, thinking; "I never thought this day would come, he's actually doing it", but it does sadden me to know he's changing so much right before our eyes. Our little man is turning into a little boy and I'm not sure I'm strong enough to handle it; I know he can't stay baby forever, but as a new parent or 2nd or 3rd or 4th, etc. time parent, we should get a little more time with them thru this stage, but I guess no time is enough when it comes to kids. You just have to cherish the holy heck out of every second you get with them.
