Sitting Pretty

Vivian decided to change her schedule on us the past few days. I guess she was working really hard on her newest accomplishment - sitting up by herself! Along with boycotting her naps, this evening we did our regular bedtime routine and after she ate and fell asleep I laid her down in her crib. No more than 5 minutes later she was awake. Not crying but rather playing with her feet, rolling around and trying to scoot from one side to the other. She was happy so we let her be. Not too long had past, maybe 10 minutes, and she was starting to get fussy. So, we went in and picked her up. She greeted us with a big smile. She was definitely not going to sleep. We took her into our room and just hung out on the bed. Derrick had her on his legs and she was just sitting there. He made me nervous because he wasn't holding her and I was worried she would topple over like she does every other time. Nope, she was just chillin', sitting on her daddy's legs. So we put her on the bed by herself and sure enough, she was sitting like a little lady. She was sporting that same smile she had when she rolled over for the first time - so proud of herself! Way to go Vivian!

It's cute how in the video she's looking at us like, "What's the big deal?"
