In the last week my daughter has mastered the art of sitting. (This would be the kind where I prop her up, and she can balance. Although she has tried, she can't get herself into this position yet.) She is more likely to do it when being read to, because that is an excuse to hold still. She also feels like she can dance better sitting up. If she is playing with toys, she would prefer to be on her back, so she can use her hands and feet to investigate. Or, if she is trying to get to the carpet edge, or my shoes, she would prefer to be on her belly so she can take part in the most awkward crawl I have ever seen. Boy, will she be surprised when she figures out she can get up on all fours and really make some distance.
