I wonder if "birth order" personality stuff (which I am not sure I even believe) has anything to do with changes in parenting style...<br />we're definitely in the cheering and marveling and practicing stage. Last night I was going "WOW WESLEY you are so much stronger at sitting". Which he is, even though he's quite a ways from actually sitting on his own. I am genuinely excited by and taking note and practicing all of his tiny changes in strength and skill...I can imagine that parenting would have to be different with babies to come.

She can sit up! Good to know. (That is an actual retelling of how I found out Alice could sit up on her own. With Clark I like, had him PRACTICE and stuff and wrote down how close he was and cheered when he did it on his own for the first time really well, etc.)swonderfulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10211968241355253269noreply@blogger.com
