She Sits!
Sara can sit! Yay! And this is one proud Mummy! I must really get myself a camera phone. Sorry no pic to post.
She has been learning to sit by holding on to us with one hand to steady herself. Yesterday, she was able to sit on her own without support for a record breaking time which is 5 seconds.
She started by sitting with her legs stretched out and her head hung low while keeping both hands by her side. When she got a bit more confident, she slowly lift her head up but once her head is up, she will just topple over as if her little head was too heavy to handle. She drew laughter from her Grandma and Tai Yee. But Sara did not give up and tried and tried until she got to sit by herself with her head up. By evening, she was able to sit with a wobbly body like jello while her hands will reach out to grab toys lying beside her. And by late evening, my little one was able to sit with her little head held high.
With each successful trial, I will clap my hands and encourage her. I got Joash (my 2 1/2 year old nephew) to become Sara’s little encourager. Now Joash is so good at it that he will sit beside the baby playpen and watch Sara closely. Each time she managed to sit upright, Joash will automatically clap his hands and asked Grandma to join in.
