Catching Up

We've all been sidelined with colds since last week, but relief is definitely in sight. Truman is almost completely recovered, so he decided to resume his aggressive workout regime. He seems intent on meeting all developmental milestones, like sitting up. Note the attempted sit-ups (or "crunches"), above.


He can sit up unassisted for about five seconds at a time. Here, he's enjoying The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Upside down. (Hey, he can't master everything at once.)


A view from the back.


More tummy time. It's still not a favorite, but ever since he started daycare, he seems very motivated by his older peers who are all rollling, sitting up, crawling, etc.



He's also becoming a champion self-soother.



And finally, reluctantly modeling a hat I made him for his late fall trip up north. (All he needs is a union card and a job down at the docks unloading fish.)
