Well, here’s something. Baby A has finally got off his arse and hit a development. He has actually sat up. Er…on his arse.
Yep, that’s right, he is now sitting up – and without any support from us! Correction: he can’t actually lift himself up yet…he still needs us to lift him into a sitting position. But hey, he is fully unsupported.
Of course, sitting up lends a whole new dimension to the way he plays. We were worried that he was bored of his play mat since he never wanted to lie stil on it. Now he can sit though….he can lift things up, move things about. And of course…put things in his mouth. Seems like everything has to go in his mouth nowadays.
It means he is able to occupy himself for a little while, allowing us to do the important things around the house. Like watch TV.
Of course, this being Baby A, you can never leave him alone for too long. He is quite happy to play with his toys for a while…but every now and again he looks around….just to see where we are. If we’re there, he will play a little longer. Or sometimes maybe he’ll call us (“Uh….uh…uh,” means “Come over here,” in Ayaan language).
However, if we’re not there….put it this way, I’m thinking of sending my ear drums on vacation. Still a bit clingy that one.
Being early days, he does fall over on occasion, but he’s a durable thing and is normally alright. Unless he gets on to his stomach, in which case….well, we al now THAT one. I’ve noticed that often, when he does his “wobbly baby” moves, he grabs his own feet to stop himself toppling over. Clever lad.
