Leaps and Bounds

These little kiddos are developing by leaps and bounds! Maybe it's just because I am back at work and therefore see them less during the week, but I am constantly amazed at how much they change day to day and week to week.

Last week while I was at work J learned how to hold himself up in a sitting position without any support. He can do this on a squishy bed pretty well-- we can't wait to get him on the floor this weekend and see how he does on a more firm surface! Of course, eventually he falls over, and then it is nice to have the squishy bed all around him. When he is sitting up he looks so proud of himself-- it is precious.

D is about to get there, too. She was the first to keep her head steady when she was pulled to a sitting position from lying down, and was the one who first wanted to be in a sitting up position on a regular basis. Now when she wants to sit up she purses her lips tightly and makes an insistent "mmmm, mmmm" sound until you sit her up. It won't be long!
