Learning To Sit Up



This chair is supposed to help babies learn to sit up. Dustin went out last night and bought one because he just couldn't wait to try it. It is a very soft foam that contours to her little body so she sits in it comfortably. You can see that she is holding her head up, but she is still working on gaining complete control. She's still a bit of a bobble head, but doing great.

Sleeping Update: Alyssa will be three months next Sunday. So many babies are sleeping through the night by this point, but not Alyssa. Up until a few days ago she continued to wake every two to three hours to eat. Well, last night we had a breakthrough!! She slept from 8 PM to 1:30 AM...that's 5 1/2 hours!! I must confess. I thought that I would sleep so well when she began sleeping longer periods, but since it was the first time I found myself frequently waking up to make sure she was still breathing. We are making baby steps. Pretty soon she will be sleeping longer and I will sleep during that period as well. It's going to take some time though. I'll keep you posted.

P.S. Ignore the man in the background of the video. It was about 5:00 AM this morning that I filmed this. Alyssa was up and ready to play, but Daddy wasn't.
