As I've said, I'm really trying not to mindfuck any of the milestones stuff; it's a bad idea in general, but especially for preemies, who get organized on their own shedules. So I've been trying not to notice that Isaac doesn't sit up. I know he won't do anything until he's ready, and he has another Early Intervention evaluation in December anyway, so if there's anything actually wrong, they'll tell us then.
I dropped Isaac off at the International House of Boodles this morning, and as always he was Done with me as soon as we walked in the door, because he was in a hurry to smile at everyone. I signed him in, and the caregiver commented on how excited she is to see him sitting up.
Me: WHA..?
And, sure enough, when I turned around he was sitting with no support at all and smacking away at a noisy electronic toy. Apparently he started doing that there last week, and they figured he was already doing it at home. I think he's just showing off for his friends.
So, yay, baby who sits. He also has a new crawling move on the kitchen floor, where his legs are much more a part of the action, with more butt elevation. He's in some kind of developmental overdrive at the moment. There are new noises, too. I think the chickachickachicka one is hilarious. It sounds like Nathan saying Chugga, his word for train, so I keep thinking that if they hang out soon, Nathan will be thinking, "what a fine playdate, we had an excellent conversation about trains."
