Hannah: Sitting Up

Hannah has been trying to get into the sitting position for a little while now. She tries to cross her back legs and push up with her arms, but she just doesn't move her arms back enough yet to get herself into position to sit up on her own yet. She was getting Soooooo frustrated last night trying to get up into position, so I helped her. I sat her up on her IKEA playmat and I was surprised at how long she could actually sit there before losing her balance. She had both arms stretched out on each side. She still needs some practice, but she can sit on her own for 10 - 15 seconds at a time (it varies) before she loses her balance.
