Sitting Practice

Adel likes to sit, but she loses her balance pretty quickly. Her arms are also somewhat weak (she can't push up on her palms when she's on her stomach- only raises hear head and supports herself by her elbows.) So to remedy both issues, I thought of something clever.

Guess what I can do!


I can sit holding on!

Adel really likes this new position! She can sit for longer periods of time, which she enjoys doing. And she exercises her arms and chest- which will hopefully lead to her lifting herself higher during tummy time.

After a trial run on my bed two weeks ago, she was ready for some serious training on the kitchen floor with a chair as her prop last week.



But as all good things, sitting practice, too, must come to an end some time...


And this is the grand finale!


Disclaimer: No baby girls were harmed during this practice. When Adel gets tired of holding on, she actually lets go very slowly and gradually, and lowers herself to the floor gently.
