AND we have a sitter!

Boom.  Just like that.  Clay is a sitter.

I hate to say this moment is more special than when Wyatt or Hazel sat, but....it is.

With them, it was like one day I thought, "wow, they are close to sitting" and a week later, they were sitters.

Then there was Clay.  One - he has low muscle tone.  Two - he HATES, I mean HATES to sit.  He crawled before he sat.  He stood, supported before he sat.  He clapped before he sat.  The kid eats more for lunch than I do...and feeds himself - before he sat.  Clay is SO stubborn and will back arch is way out of any move he does not want to do.  Sitting FOR SURE has fit into that category since day one.  Weekly occupational therapy has done little to persuade him otherwise.

BUT in the last few weeks, my growing, independent, stubborn little man has figured out how to put HIMSELF into sitting position and decided it isn't all that bad!  Check him out!  This mama could NOT be any prouder ;)

And now we are just showing off!
