Sibling Rivalry





I just mentioned that Vansen is a beat off the pace set by his sister, and he must have heard me because this weekend he made a couple of significant firsts. After a number of efforts over the past few days, he started sitting up on his own. He's still prone to occassonally slow-topple, but he's in much better control now and I think he's enjoying the change of view. 

This earned him a spot in the high chair, where he has figured out how to grasp snacks and get them to his mouth (most of the time). He'll still fumble a little and sometimes the food ends up in his lap, but this is a big developmental step and he'll be motivated to hone his motor skills  because, of course, there are snacks involved.
