Sitting up and Sippy Cups

 Seamus is sitting on his own lots these days.  He eventually tumbles down and ends up rolling all around on the floor.  He can get wherever he wants to be, just rolling, but he appreciates the perspective he gets sitting on his own.  Only, as you can see, he rarely sits alone.  Linus "has his back".  Literally.  That dog puts up with a lot of pulled hair just so he can sit beside this warm little floor-dweller.

Seamus's other recent skill is drinking from a sippy cup!  I am just thrilled about this one because we all have colds and this provides me one more way (besides nursing - neither of our boys ever took milk from a bottle; they just didn't like it) to get fluids into this poor congested baby.  He is so proud of himself, and so are we.  I think he feels like he fits in with the big boys, now.  He drank nearly 5 oz of water yesterday!
