Motivation

Mira has had the strength to sit unsupported for a few weeks now, but little actual interest in doing so. I’d place her in a sitting position, and she would soon fall over in order to grab a toy and examine it from a supine position. There was nothing that could convince her that sitting up was fun! And cool! And all the six month olds were doing it!

But over the weekend our friends Nico and Judith gave us a toy their youngest was no longer as interested in. Today’s result: instant motivation to stay upright and play.

  1. Smart friend. Get rid of the big toys they’ve outgrown just before Christmas… SUCKER! 🙂

  2. OH! My Baby O is six months (almost seven) and lacks the same motivation. (Kinda like his mom with the whole “lose the baby weight” thing.) I might try something like this.

    She’s adorable!

  3. Awww… sh elooks so happy! I love her bottom teeth, so sweet!

  4. Boy do I love plump baby cheeks!!

    Probably good she’s not succumbing to peer pressure. Could come in handy later.

  6. That first paragraph describes Sage (who’s two weeks older). Mind sending that toy our way? What’s with that rolling over crap anyway? Haven’t they read the damn milestone charts?
