Edy began sitting up today, well, not began, but can officially, consistently stay upright on her own. I left her sitting up by herself on her play mat with a few toys while I played guitar for her, and she stayed there for 6 or 7 minutes before she toppled over. I count that as sitting on her own!
It is quite funny when she topples over. Since she has no idea what is actually happening, and of course has no actual dexterity to stop it anyway, she just face plants right over. When you watch someone trip, or start to fall, you are used to see them put a hand out to catch themselves, but with newborns, they just lead with the head.
Of course she doesn't hurt herself - she barely even goes bump (more of a rolling than a falling), but she does seem a little surprised when she is suddenly laying on her side.
