Sittting, At Last

Finally Aaron is sitting up on his own!!! I've been stressing out because he is 9 months old and can't sit up. Since he was born a month early, I've known that he will probably learn to do things like sitting, crawling, and walking a little bit later than the other babies his age. But I didn't expect sitting to take this long. My sweet baby has always had a special love for me, his mommy, in that if I'm around the only thing he wants is to be held. So the past months have been hard on me because I can only put him down for literally 2 minutes before the wailing begins. This makes doing anything around the house (like sweeping, dishes, laundry) nearly impossible. Anyway, enough with the "waah, waah, waah, poor Veena." Than has been working with Aaron more the past few days to help him sit, since it wasn't working to well with me. And then last night--Aaron turned into a "big" baby. He sat for 10-15 minutes and loved it. He was laughing and playing and just as happy as could be. I didn't get a picture last night, so today at lunch--yes, McDonald's--I snapped a few. If you look closely you can see that Aaron is NOT resting his back against the highchair.
Now for a Sara story. She is 4, but I find that she still needs to take a nap everyday or else she turns into a grumpy beast of a girl. Today we were driving home in the afternoon and I knew that she would not be keen on the idea of a nap, so I tried to strike a bargain with her. She likes driving home one way where we go up this big hill. She asked if we could go the big hill way and I told her we could, but then she'd have to take a nap when we got home. Her response was, "So if we don't go up the big hill, then I don't have to take a nap?" She's getting too smart for me.
