Rolling over, sitting up, what next?

Yesterday, Sadie FINALLY rolled over for the first time. She was practicing sitting up, and had fallen over on to her stomach. She hates being on her stomach, so she was immediately frustrated. She pushed hard enough to roll herself from front to back! I was so proud of her. She had quite the night of trying to sit up by herself, rolling over, and just practicing gross motor skills all around. Here she is that same night, doing push-ups : )




So imagine my surprise when tonight, she decided she could sit up all by herself. Mommy, Daddy, and Sadie were sharing some rare family time on the floor mat in Sadie's room. Sadie was in a good mood, so we decided to practice sitting up again. Here she is, trying to sit up yesterday:

I placed her on the floor in a sitting position, and it all just clicked. She stayed sitting up, alternating between using her arms for support and waving them out to the sides for balance. Just when I thought she was about to tip over, she would straighten herself up. She did it!

Better watch out, she'll be walking before we know it!
