I can't believe how fast my kids are growing. The one I'm most amazed with right now is Gabriel ... Aitana is a whole different story that I'm just not ready to face at the moment or I WILL cry!
But my little Sonny ... I can tell how badly he wants to sit up. He's just gotten the strength to hold his head up unsupported, so no sitting alone yet, unless you count the bumbo. Aitana did not care for this seat, but Gabriel just seems to love it! He can sit there for minutes on end and really enjoy it.
He's also finally starting to hold up his head while on his belly, even though it is not his favorite position. He really prefers to be up where he can see the action! He's now trying to grab things, he plays with his feet and is now really focusing in on purposely bringing his hands and feet to his mouth. With all these new milestones, we now have to refocus ourselves to make sure Gabriel is getting the stimulation he needs from toys, music, etc. It's not easy when I've got Aitana yelling "Mama look!" every few moments, but we've been managing.
In the next few days we'll be starting his cereal and putting him in the jumperoo. It felt like it took so long for these steps with Aitana, but now it just feels like they are full-steam ahead for my little man. But I love watching all the new and exciting things he's experiencing. I feel I'm so much more in the moment with him than I was with Aitana, so it's a lot of fun to do it all over again!
