Erica is learning to sit up by herself and she has taken quite an interest in toys and books from this position. I guess when she was laying down all the time or being held, she didn't have much independence to explore her toys and books or choose which ones she wanted to examine further. When she is at Mom and Dad's house, they have a little basin with toys in it that she plays with. At home this morning I set up a plastic bowl from the kitchen with some toys and let her explore. I was sitting on the couch next to her making a call for work. My work notebook was still on the couch when I stepped a few feet away to start folding laundry. I watched Erica eyeing that composition book, about two feet away from where she was sitting. She leaned over to try and pick it up, but ended up diving on top of the book and flipping herself forward onto her tummy. She didn't like that very much, started crying for help so I picked her back up into the sitting position. Wouldn't you believe as soon as I stepped back to the laundry, she dove right back on top of that notebook! I called Mom and Dad to tell them about her mischief, and they suggested I put a pile of her own books in front of her to go through. She has been paging through them for about 15 or 20 minutes now. Very very cute. She must be a genius.
