Sit Mikayla, Sit!

Last week Mikayla surprised us out of the blue with her new sitting skills. She gave us our first show when she sat up from a reclined position on my lap (see video).

Then we figured out that she could sit on her own for several seconds unassisted while we were showing her some new toys. Now all she wants to do is sit! Unfortunately she is still pretty unstable, so she needs close supervision while sitting. Here are  some  pictures of me assisting her while sitting today. She kept trying to get Nibbler and thus kept tipping herself over:

"It's Nibbler!"

"Oh hey Nibbler"

"Come back here Nibbler!"

"Hmmm...this blanket is almost as good as Nibbler"

Luckily Mikayla has a special chair where she is allowed to sit for as long as she wants and read books and such (see video): 

She also enjoys using her sitting skills while going on errands like getting supplies at Lowes. She was ready to take control of the race car shopping cart!

Go Mikayla Go!
