Since you have a little bit of a flat spot on the back of your head, I'm trying to get you to sit up as much as possible (Dr.'s orders). It hasn't been as hard as I was expecting since you want to be independent so badly and love sitting and standing up (with help of course). But lately, it's been a little bit of a battle becasue you just discovered that you can roll places and creep towards things that interest you... so that's all you've been wanting to do lately and nothing else. And that's fine with me for now. "Battles" with you are not really like "battles" at all and it's fun to see you experience new things and get excited.
Anyways, because you love rolling so much, getting you to stay in your bumbo has been a challenge. You arch your back so much (trying to roll over in it) that you look like you could do a back flip off of it. It scares me, so I never leave you sitting in it if I'm not watching. But today you discovered a new toy that sits in front of you while you're in your bumbo... one that has all kinds of buttons, switches, knobs, things that light up, and have fun noises. You were so mesmerized that I just left you sitting on the floor with it while I watched you and did the dishes. It was perfect! I got to clean up, and you had some good time doing something fun without putting pressure on your head.
I love watching you grow buds. You're so quick to learn, and so amazingly enamored by the big world around you. Seeing your eyes light up and your arms and legs start kicking when you get excited gives me such joy. I can't believe how amazing you are and how quickly you're changing and discovering new things. I'm so blessed to be your Mommy, and that I get to be with you at home and watch you go on these daily adventures. What's next?!
