Sitting up is a big thing in the house right now. Baby J would love to sit up all the time if he could, but because he is still little, he gets tired. He has also been rolling over a lot and moving from one corner of the mat (or wherever he is) to the other with ease. It is very exciting watching these things happen as a new parent. So many people miss these moments when their babies are in day care and I feel very fortunate to be such a big part of my baby's life and development.
I went to a baby shower this weekend and there I realized that I have to let my baby go. He wants to move around so much and I realized that when he's ready to move by himself, I have to let him go. He was watching the other babies that were there and they were only a few months to a year older than he is. He was so happy to see people his size moving so fast! Even though these kids would run/walk and fall then get back up again, their mothers didn't seem phased. That made me think about me. I flinched every time they came to a table or stairs but these kids had learned the right ways to get where they need to go safely. So the reason I am saying this is that kids will learn how to do things by trial and error. You have to let them explore and figure out how to do things on their own(within reason). This is going to be hard for me to do.
Well, I have to go before the little ones wake up. Have a great day!
Much love,
-J
