We have a sitter!
It's so interesting to me the way that babies master new skills seemingly overnight. One day, Camden was sitting for a max of 5 seconds before toppling one way or another; the next day, I put him in the sitting position and he just sat. And sat. And sat some more. Ever since that day, he's been a pretty darn good independent sitter. It makes life easier in a lot of ways. Now I can sit him on the family room floor, surround him with toys (and a pillow or two-- just in case) & go unload the dishwasher. And when I peak in the family room from my kitchen, I see him sitting there, reaching for toys, perfectly content. And then it hits me: time is going by so fast. Camden is no longer my little lump of baby that I rocked to sleep countless nights. He's marching down the road towards crawling, towards talking, towards walking-- towards toddlerhood. And while I am enjoying every single moment of it (truly, I am), sometimes I wish time would slow down just a little. Then I'm reminded that every day that passes is (hopefully) one day closer to having a baby that sleeps through the night, and I want to tell Camden to keep on marching right down that road.

Love the NFL toys he's playing with!
Its so funny when they can sit, but they have a little bit of OT (occasional tipping). They will be fine and then just fall out of nowhere. Then one day they are sitting masters!
So cute! Love the pictures. I know Lexi's going to do that any day now. She can sit on a hard surface for 5-10 seconds then flops over, but sits forever on a soft surface. I'm sure I'll just wake up one day, set her down and she'll just stay there. I know what you mean about time flying. I can NOT believe they are half a year old and starting to sit on their own. The rest of the time is going to go by too quickly. Congrats to mommy and Camden. What an awesome milestone to reach!
What a cutie!!
Camden is SO cute! Gage is a pretty good sitter too, but occasionally falls over, like during our photos. But you are a brave one, I still put him on his belly when I leave the room! Oh an Gage has that shirt, but it says 'my daddy rocks'.
When I saw "sitter" I thought I had been replaced. Those pictures are so cute.
So exciting! I'm a new reader and I think your blog is great! I'll definitely be stopping back by to read more! :)
So sweet! What a big sitter you have there! I love the drooly photos!
Fantastic photos. Time does go by so fast. The nice thing is that every day gets even more fun with them :-D
It's so exciting to see him sit on his own! Can't wait to take some pictures of him! :)
I haven't experienced this type of stuff... I get mine at 7 years old :). My fiance has a daughter and I met her last summer (when he and I started dating, she was 6 at the time)... Part of me feels like I'm missing out, but yet, I get to sleep through the nights for the most part.
Congrats on sitting Camden! You can tell your Mama is proud with all of the pictures she took!
