Sitting up!

So Shaelyn can finally sit up - mostly all by herself!!! Which is great because she prefers sitting to laying, and before now you had to prop her up on the boppy pillow and sit right there with her for the fear that she would fall over. Now she can sit up without the boppy and rarely has a falling over incident. She can also sit up from laying on her back mostly by herself. Usually Michael or I stick out a finger for her to grab onto and pull herself up on, but lately, if you hold her feet down, she'll come up on her own like she's doing a sit up in PE class. I learned this put-your-hand-on-their-feet tactic from Kelly and Addie. Thanks guys! So of course I took a video of Shaelyn sitting up on her own, as well as a video as a video of Shaelyn playing once she is sitting up. I'm so proud of this girl!!!

Now these next two videos are of us being silly one night before going to bed. I've mentioned before that Shaelyn is the most animated on her changing table. Theories still exist as to why. But nonetheless, it makes it the best time to play funny games with her and hear her laugh. In the first video, I'm waving her pajamas in her face. For some reason, this makes her flap her arms really fast. And since I can't do anything without making up a song for what I'm doing, I'm singing the "jammies" song. (Yes, that is the tune to "Oompa Loompa"; you're ears are not deceiving you...). In the second video, Michael learned that his hair tickles Shaelyn's tummy. So you get to hear her little laugh for the first time. It's half laugh, half shriek. Sometimes babies laughs sound like babies cries to me, so I just want to reassure everyone that she is laughing. Enjoy!
