New Skill. Getting to sit by self


Nathan is now getting to a sitting up position by himself. He likes to practice things in his cot before trying them out in the big wide world. So that is where we first found him sitting up, in his cot.

We were very excited to find him like this and so went over the top saying how clever he was, as you do when your child does something new. Now we have a new dilemma during the day. We lay him down for his sleep and he sits up. we lay him down and he sits up etc. I have tried leaving him for over an hour and he happily sits and calls out. Therefore not much daytime sleeping is happening. On two occasions he has fallen asleep while sitting up. He has then ended up with legs spread and his face down on the mattress in front of him. We have then been able to move him into a more comfortable position when he is fast asleep.

At least it is only in the day. Next will be standing!!
