After weeks of practicing, we're calling it official: Little Man is sitting up on his own. Up until today, he'd topple over at the slightest breeze, but he finally figured out how to use those tummy muscles to right himself before he falls over. We still keep pillows surrounding him, because there's nothing worse than hearing his little head make a "thud" when it hits the floor (even though I know it's not doing any real damage). It also gives us a great excuse to pull out all the great baby blankets and quilts we've been collecting.
Little Man is quite tickled with his new independence, and loves sitting up and swiveling that head around to take in the sights from this new angle. He's starting to streeech and reach for toys. And, of course, his sitting up skills come just in time for Christmas and all those presents I'm sure Santa is going to bring him.

Dear Santa
Dear Santa,
I have not been to see you in the store this year, because I am a little hesitant with strangers. I did see you on TV on the Thanksgiving Day parade, and I especially liked your reindeer. I would really like one of those reindeer, but Mommy says the neighborhood we live in is not zoned for flying animals. I have been very good this year. Granted, I am only 4 months old and not mobile yet, so that limits the trouble I can get into. But Mommy and Daddy say I am the best baby ever, and I am inclined to believe them.
I am a very big boy! I am one ounce shy of 20 pounds, and I wear size 12-18 month clothes. I am a super eater, although I am not so sure what I think about the carrots I ate last night. I am so close to sitting up, and my doctor says I'm so big I might skip crawling all together.
I am very interested in the world around me. I like to touch everything. I especially like toys I can grab and shove in my mouth. I love books, especially ones that have pages with things I can feel. Bath time is one of my favorite times of the day, and I love tub toys. I splish and splash and I get everything in the bathroom very wet. This includes my parents, which I think is soooo funny.
I hope you have a very Merry Christmas, and I'm going to leave cookies and coke out for you. And a carrot for your reindeer. And if you decided you want to leave a reindeer, that would be okay too.
Love and babykisses,
Little Man
