Learning to Sit Up

So, over the past couple of weeks, this gorgeous child and I have been working on getting her to sit up on her own.

 Because in order to fully show off her Halloween costume, she has to be able to sit up!  ;)

So we started out with the boppy.....this was a huge help with Carter when we were teaching him how to sit up.  And it has proven to be just as effective with Kendall. 

 However, the main distraction is that dang hand!

 She just can't leave it alone!

 She is constantly chewing on her thumb or her pointer finger.  No sucking.  Just chewing.

 But we finally managed to get her to sit without the boppy.  Now we just have to work on keeping her from tipping over to the sides!

She's quite enthusiastic about this whole process, can't you tell?
