Growing up so fast

Sam is growing up so quickly right before our eyes. This weekend, Mark and I had to lower her crib mattress and take the bassinet out of her pack and play. She is slowly figuring out how to get into a sitting position from a laying down position, and we were afraid she’d finally actually do it and somehow fall out! It doesn’t take much to get from sitting to standing so we are trying to be really careful. Sam pushes herself up onto one knee and both hands all the time now when she is in the crib. If she could figure out that all she needs to do is pull up her other knee toward her chest, she’d be up on all fours in no time. I have seen her on her hands and knees a few times so I think she’ll be trying to crawl soon.
Also, today, we were practicing drinking out of a cup. She did pretty well, actually. She hasn’t quite mastered a sippy cup but she is always interested in our glasses and cups when we drink. So today I let her hold my glass of water (with my assistance, naturally) and have a few sips. She dribbled a lot down her chin, but she did ok. I then gave her a smaller, child size cup that has handles and she practiced with that too.
We decided it may be time to start clearing out some of the things she doesn’t use any more like her bouncer chair, her swing and her play gym. It is so sad that she is growing so fast and won’t be using these things that she loved any longer, but we are so excited to see how well and how wonderfully she is progressing and growing. We can’t wait to see what she does next!
