Update!

Wow, it's been a while since mommy has had time to post all the things I've been doing lately. So here's an update since Halloween:

Nana came to stay for about two weeks in November because Grandma Deb (my regular sitter) had to have surgery. Grandma Deb recovered quickly and is doing just fine, and Nana and I had a blast together!

Uncle Scoupe and Courtney and Uncle Chris and the kids all came to our house for Thanksgiving. Sadly, I was already in bed when Scoupe and Courtney got here, but I had fun playing "Baby on the moon" with Chris and being entertained by Abbey, Josh and Mary (especially Mary's singing!).

Then, we went to Rock Hill for Thanksgiving, too. Believe it or not, that's where I met Santa Claus!

Here's me telling him what I want....

And here's me making sure mom & dad wrote it all down.

Before Thanksgiving dinner (well, I had already had MY dinner), everyone put their new ornament on the Christmas tree at Nana & Pop's house. Nana & Pop think I'm pretty special, because I got THREE ornaments!

Let's see, what else?

Oh yeah, mom & dad were really impressed last week when all of the sudden...

I started sitting up by myself!

Of course, I still topple pretty often, but I can sit for a couple minutes at a time usually. It's like a whole new world now! I'm so strong!

I'm still working on enjoying tummy time, and mom has a couple tricks to make me tolerate it for a few minutes everyday.

I'm getting pretty great at rolling over again, though--I stopped doing it for about two months, but decided it was worth it to avoid as much tummy time as possible!

Actually, I think I might start a facebook group called "Down with Tummy Time!" I know a couple of babies from the nursery at church who would defintely join....

That's all for now--time to get back to some serious jumping in the johnny-jump-up!
