I love the ways Lydia surprises us! This afternoon she totally took me by surprise when she sat up on her own and I'm glad I had the phone/camera nearby.
I think I expected by Baby #3 to have it all down pat and I do think I am more relaxed. But what an unexpected joy it is to still really celebrate every "first" along the way! (Especially when she does things differently than the bigs!) And I never expected the joy of experiencing these milestones alongside Sarah and Josiah. They still cheer for Lydia when she rolls over! We pray they will be her, and each others, biggest cheerleaders throughout their lives.
These are the moves she had been using. She would push herself around to sitting on her bottom, but never picked both hands up. She would also rock on her knees and pike. Lydia's abs are pretty much ready for the next summer Olympics :)
And then, much to my surprise, this afternoon she just sat right up. I can remember Sarah knocking her head on the hard floor during this stage and with both big kids the wobbly time was a stage. Not with Lydia, it seems! I'll let the pictures show the progress.
It is such an amazing blessing to watch her grow!
We are so thankful for the gift of each moment and milestone.
