sitting

About 2 days ago, I tried putting Sophie on the floor to see if she would sit up on her own. She was a little wobbly and unsure of herself, but she sat well! After a few days of falling over and crying and getting scared of falling, she finally got the hang of it and decided that sitting up was something she could do. What a smart girl! Her little body was ready to sit. She's loving this new-found independence! Soph will sit on her own for at least 15-20 minutes at a time and just play with her toys. She's really started to reach for what she wants, especially her foam bathtub numbers and letters, which she loves to chew on with her little tooth.
Sophie's core strength is increasing and she's getting steadier every day. She'll be crawling any time now! Not sure if we're ready....
