She can sit!

Emily can sit unassited for short periods of time! And she is only 4months!!! How exciting, right?

Emily seemed to have neck control from the moment she was born; the doctor always comments that she is a strong baby.  I chalk it up to the extreme amount of time she is worn and how she is held. From birth she never enjoyed being held in the typical newborn cradle hold (only to eat of course).  She always preferred the high up on the shoulder carrier (Josh always carrys her up high on his shoulder), which I know helped to develop the muscles she needed to sit up. She also loved to play various "games" with me that also helped to develop her core muscles.  :)

An example of how Josh has carried Emily since day 1!!

She enjoys sitting unassisted for short periods, but you can tell she is making an effort to keep her balance.  It is so exciting to see her sit up while playing with her toys! :)

 

Sorry about the video...it's sideways!
