Annie learned to sit!

these are a bit out of order, I'm just not taking the time tonight to perfect them... kinda lucky to be getting them up! I should be in bed. Annie had me up 3 times.. I never got back to sleep after 3:45am!

tonight we had the kids on the drive. Annie was adorable, squealing in delight to keep up with the older kids. I think that she's on the edge of being this little baby and starting to know her place in the family and joining in on the fun. 2 nights ago the kids were singing and dancing and running circles and she was doing the best she could to keep up. It was sweet.

Here she is posing for a picture on Abby's old bike.

Yesterday Annie learned to sit!! I noticed in the last few days that she was gaining strength and balancing better. I figured it would be about 2 weeks. Little did I know it would be 3 hours! The girl is doing awesome. Once you get her balanced w/ a toy in front, she sits for a long time! Luke and Abby both spilled back a lot in the beginning.
Annie enjoying her world from an upright position!I got out lots of toys that were better for sitting babies. She really enjoyed these coins from the piggy bankLuke was such a good big brother teaching her how to drop them in the piggy. I LOVE the interaction between the kids, older teaching younger. I never really anticipated this. I'm thinking this must be one of the things that entices families to have more kids b/c it's making me want a million kids. Luke is really good with her. Annie looks to his face a lot, I think she realizes Abby is still a little unsafe?!! or maybe the word is unpredictable. I love how Luke gets excited when he sees Annie do something new. Sharing the joy is the best!
obviously proud of her new talent!
