Big Boy

So, Jeremy started doing this well just a day or two ago.

 

I’ve tried to give opportunities to practice sitting up over the last month, but he never stayed on his bottom.  He was much more interested in flopping over to his tummy to practice crawling, which, thankfully, he still doesn’t quite have the hang of yet!

But a couple mornings ago, I sat him down on our bedroom floor, and he stayed that way for several minutes.  He still prefers to be in position to scoot backwards and turn in circles, but he’s starting to realize that he can see what’s going on if he stays like this for awhile.

I guess it’s time to call the photographer for his “sitting up” pictures!

I also bought Jeremy a couple of Halloween costumes at our local Goodwill Store, believe it or not.  I bought two because I couldn’t decide between them, and I like to get first-Halloween-costume pictures made in early October.  (This year, I’m going to have the other kids photographed in their costumes with Jeremy!)  As I tried them on him, I realized that he may be dressing up as whatever costume still fits him come Halloween!  The costumes are 6 to 12 months in size, but he nearly fits both of them now!

So, does anyone want to vote?  Elephant?  Or Bumblebee?  We think they’re both pretty cute!

  

In other news, soccer didn’t go so well this weekend.  We attended Charlotte’s game because she still thinks she ought to go and support her team, and the score was, I think, 4-0, at which  point league rules required the opposing coach to start pulling players.  The score ended up being 6-4, but it wasn’t pretty.  Elijah’s team ended up losing 4-0, another ignominious defeat.  Of course, this was the day my dad came to watch the kids play!  Oh, well.  Maybe next Saturday will be better.

I hope that your week is going well and that you are enjoying cooler temperatures!  The trees have started changing here, so I think that fall is finally on its way.

Here are a couple more pictures of Mr. Personality to close out this post.

 

Have a good one!
