Sitting!

Rather quickly, Max has suddenly decided he can sit up on his own. We began leaning him against pillows which quickly turned into sitting him semi-upright and leaning against toys, then he progressed to sitting on his own bent in half (Maria says "Max is making yoga"), and in a matter of days he was sitting perfectly straight on his own.

Now we love to watch him balancing and learning how to stay upright longer and longer (while playing Moraccas, nonetheless). Charlie says he'll be at the sink when I'm playing on the floor with Max and he can just see Max's head bobbing up and down and side to side as he works his little tummy muscles to stay up. Now, when he "makes yoga", he tries to eat his toes then comes back up - another feat of strength...

See the progression below, yes we prefer sitting practice in the nude.
