Working on Sitting up

Today’s lesson is learning to sit up. PJ is sitting up, but is pretty wobbly. After seeing my new friend Katarina’s baby Liam sitting up pretty well on his own at 5 1/2 months on Tuesday, I thought that perhaps I haven’t given PJ enough practice time. So I’ve been working on that a bit this week. Today he was sitting up enough to let me leave him be for awhile.

I took way too many pictures – but it was so much fun!

Here’s the set-up. Boppy pillow braces the falls, hanging toys are incentive to reach out and test balance…

PJ is fascinated by the arches more than the toys. When he plays with this mat laying down, sometimes he’ll actually pull them down.

Leaning forward…

Ooops, too far…

Back to the arches…

Help, I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!
