I sat up on my own!

I've been irritable the last couple of days. My cheeks have been rosy, which is not usual. I'm getting over my first daycare cold, and I've got a bit of diaper rash going. So I like to let mom, dad, and the daycare ladies know that things aren't quite right with me.

Mom wants to shower me with love and attention after she picks me up from daycare, so we had a fun night together. We played on the bed for a while, where I can really scoot around because I can plow my face into the blanket, and propel myself forward with my legs. I like to scoot over towards mom, but then she gets in the way of my progress, and I get frustrated trying to plow into her. Next she took careof my bottles in the kitchen, and I got to watch everything and try to touch it because she had me in the sling on her hip. Finally, she set me down on my blanket, and she took some time to practice her cello. I rolled around and grabbed for some toys. I don't cry when she practices her cello. It's hard to get a word in edgewise! But I had this great breakthrough: starting on my hands and knees, I would tuck my little legs under me, and push myself up to a seated position! This is a first. Then, of course, I tried to wiggle and jump my way up to standing, but had no luck. Mom says I need to grab hold of something to pull myself up with, but I don't understand.

Here's just a random picture from last weekend for this post.
