Sitting Up

Well, monkey number two has been crawling for 3 months. (crawling = sliding on her belly like a crocodile in search of prey, or like an army commando crawling across a field of mines). She's been able to sit up by herself (if we help her get into the sitting position she'll stay up without toppling and smacking the floor) for about 1 1/2 months. But the latest, is her ability to go from her stomach, up to a sitting position all alone. It's pretty awesome!


Just this weekend she has started grabbing on to things and trying to stand. I guess a legitimate crawl is not on her list of things to accomplish before walking. Fair enough.
