Sitting up!

Linden is sitting up on her own, quite well. It was a fairly sudden change, and she suddenly seems so much older! Sitting independently led us to green light a couple of things, namely trying food and going on the baby swing.

Food is fun for Linden, although  sometimes it seems she’s a bit frustrated. I think she would like to actually be satisfied by the food, but about 90% of what goes into her mouth (which is not much to start with) comes back out. She is learning to chew more than she is learning to swallow. But she is super interested, and brings every new food right to her mouth. So her introduction to food has been quite successful.

Maren’s favourite activity is swinging. I can hardly think of a time when she has stopped swinging on her own - it is almost always me or Jeff telling her she has to stop. But if first impressions mean anything, Linden will be even harder to pry off the swings. Maren’s first time on the swings she was a little unsure, and it took her a while to warm up to it. Not Linden - she was squealing and laughing the first time. So we could be in for some serious tantrums in the future.

Meanwhile,  The purple ball game never gets old, and in fact being able to sit up seems to have made it more exciting:
