| He is so proud! |
I've been putting Joseph down in a sitting position since he was about 5 months old. At first, he would last about a second and then crumble to the floor. Slowly, the length of time he would sit up got longer. This morning, when I went into his room to get him after he woke up, I found him sitting up in his crib.
And then this afternoon he sat up on his own in the living room.
And somehow he made it from the living room into the middle of the kitchen. The boy sure has mastered the army crawl. But yesterday, he did move forward slightly by crawling with his stomach off the ground.
It is fun to watch him as he tries so hard to get up on his hands and knees (all at the same time) and move forward. He is very close to mastering the crawl. And once that happens, my life is over. And so is Clara's. She thinks he is fun now, "oh wait...wait till he is moving and is getting into all your stuff girl. Oh, will you still love him and think he is adorable then...."
I've already had to break up a few "fights between the two of them. Because Joseph is starting to care when a toy is taken right out of this hands or when he tries to grab what Clara is playing with because it looks so very interesting to him.
And let me mention that when he gets upset, he has got the leg kicking thing down to a tee. He will lay on his stomach on the ground, holding his head and shoulders up with his hands and he'll kick his legs as he does his little upset cry. I recorded it for good measure (and to use later in his life as blackmail :) ).
My two children couldn't be more opposites except they both are very strong willed. I love them to pieces!
