Day 132 09/11/2011 Always something

There is always something new that Michael is learning. Michael has decided that he will learn to sit up. He has always been like this I guess. He suddenly decides that he can do something or at least that is is time to learn it. I remember that for a long time (as it seemed at the time) Michael never would hold anything in his hands and would not even grip my finger. Then one day he would and now he is getting very agile with his fingers and seems to have no problem with hand to eye coordination. He always reaches the right distance for something he wants to hold and can get whatever part of it to his mouth that he wants whatever the shape and size may be. He can now be relied upon the thoroughly investigate any toy you pass to him and he often distracts himself this way for quite a long time.
It seems that he has never made any effort to sit up until now when he has suddenly decided to try it. It is still a bit hit and miss he will sit while he feels like it and crash over without a care as soon as he stops trying.
