It's All About Baby Steps

Yesterday was just a normal ol' day with Landon; so I thought. We woke up, fed him, gave him a bath and he watched his usual morning cartoons; while mom made coffee and took a shower. Afterwards, I brought my little man to his changing table to of course, change him. When i'm all done and he's all clean i sit him up with one on my hands supporting him, while my other hand was throwing away his dirty diaper in his diaper genie(which i LOVE by the way, couldn't live without that thing!). And when I look back up, little Landon doesn't even need my hand to support him, it looks like he is sitting up all on his own, so I take my hand away. AND WOOOHOOO!!! Landon is sitting up all by himself, for a good minute or two straight. I was shocked, I think I even let out a happy shout, haha.

Well of course, I thought this was a one time thing and no one would believe me seeing as he is only 3 1/2 months old... and for a 3 1/2 month old to sit up by themselves is pretty incredible.

So i tested out Landon's sitting abilities when Jason got home from work. And WOOOHOOOO again, he did it, and this time for a good 5 minutes straight, it was amazing. Jason couldn't believe it either. There was even one moment where Landon looked like he was going to fall over to his right side, but nooo... we waited to see what he would do, and he stopped himself with his right arm/hand and proped back up. It's craziness I tell you. It seems soo simple, a baby sitting up on his own. But it's funny how excited parents get over those simple things that their child does. Landon's sitting isn't perfected, he leans a little forward and wobbles from time to time, but thats why they say, "practice makes perfect."

 So of course we had to take pictures of this whole experience.....

ok!! It get's better (for me anyways!)... Not only is Landon starting to sit up on his own. BUT ITS OFFICIAL, he is sleeping throughout the night now, and I couldn't be happier about that. He usually goes to bed anywhere from 9:30pm-10:30pm, and he wakes up anythere from 7:00am-8:30am. Mommy can finally get her beauty sleep, yay :) Thanks kiddo.
