as in tiiiimberrrrr.

judah has been sitting up unassisted for longer and longer periods. he first did this at 4 months for 5 or 10 seconds, but could only do it while he was 100% still and staring at the same object. since then he is able to do it while reaching for things, playing, throwing himself off balance, but he still falls over hilariously often.

.

we have decided it's time to not catch him when he tips over...as long as he's on something relatively soft. gravity doesn't coddle, and neither do we in this instance. here he is last week showing his tenuous grip on mastery of this particular skill.

pimping it, upright style. read the shirt, chicas...for the next 20 years

.

you would think that picking this up would stabilize him, but he actually pulled it right out from under himself, resulting in...

hahahaha mid-air and he still looks right into the camera. that's right, baby zoolander, get the shot

.

luckily he has LOTS of fun on his back eating his socks and speaking pterodactyl.

in other athletically developmental news: there is none. our attempts to get judah to crawl by putting him on his tummy all the time are thwarted by his rapid rolling back over. however we know the bug can commute, even if we don't see how. we put him on the floor and leave the room for a few minutes and when we come back he is 4 feet off his blanket. so we know he has some form of locomotion down but we have no clue if it's army crawl, inchworm, barrel roll or if he just gets up and walks. we'll let you know if he ever deigns to show us.
