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.
