Sitting Up - Almost!

All of these following pictures are of Cullen. I'm not sure if it's because he's slightly bigger than Jack or if he just has better balance but he's getting to be quite skilled at sitting up by himself. He loves to practice too, if I lay him down he instantly gets mad and starts grunting and straining to sit up. They usually do everything only a few days apart so I'm sure Jack will follow shortly. Right now, though, Jack falls over almost instantaneousely. Anyways, here's some pictures of Cullen from a few days ago. I think you can tell from the pictures that he was much more slumped forward then. Now, he is working at sitting up straighter and can often hold it for several seconds before falling over.
Look at me Mom!! I'm a big boy!!

Wobbling back and forth

Oooh, feet, my favorite!!!

Jack: "Hmmph, Cullen thinks he's so cool because he can sit up. Big deal!"

Oooh, I see a kitty! I have a much better view from here!
These pictures are from today

Getting better

Help! I've fallen and I can't get up!

Sitting straight up

Wobbling again

Falling backwards. Don't worry Cullen, just try again!

P.S. If you click on this last picture and enlarge it, you can see Cullen's shocked face as he falls. Those big eyes are pretty funny!

Priceless picture of Cullen falling backwards. Great action shot! Makes me want to reach out and soften the landing, kiss him, encourage him and set him back up again.
