I've just had the best fun with Aaron while the monsters were having a shower... i'd just given him his bath and we were practicing sitting (he hates lying down now, freaks out til someone props him up and lord knows i need to keep my sitting muscles in shape )
He managed a whole 6 seconds at one point before toppling over with a big grin on his face but even more spectacular we discovered he can do all of the following rather mad party tricks;
-When falling backwards he can hold himself in a half fallen over position for absolutely ages... imagine someone doing a sit up pausing at the point where all of their back is off the floor but they're not quite upright yet.
-He can grab my fingers and haul himself to standing and support almost all of his weight on his legs (discovered that one accidentally when i gave him my fingers to pull himself to sitting from his weird half sit up and suddenly he was standing laughing in my face)
-He's discovered he can sit perfectly well if he bends at the waist and will sit like that for ages examining his toes and talking to his knees
-He spent 10 mins picking up his comb, putting it down again, picking it up, swiping at his face with it, putting it down, picking it up.... apparently it's very amusing
He was so tired after all that he fell asleep to Smashing Pumpkins on the stereo and had a little snooze in his crib while i cooked dinner
