12 Weeks: Cate "Sits" Up (Sort-of)

Okay, so she can't really sit unassisted, but she can sit for very short periods of time in her bumbo chair. Plus, a pretty cute set of pictures of her "sitting" on daddy's tummy on the couch.

I can tell she is gaining more head control every day.








Today was my first day back in the classroom. It was a pretty average first day - filled with lost Freshman and students who were late to class. Actually, though, I think I have a really good set of students this semester (48 of them this time around). I look forward to getting to know them better over the next few weeks.

Cate is still doing well at daycare. In fact, today she took an hour and a half nap for them in her crib! If she will just keep up that napping, I think she will be a much happier baby. On the up side, she is still eating well for them, so I'm pretty sure she is growing fast.

When we do "tummy time", we often put her on a small pillow (so she can look around). Well, lately she has learned to roll over off her pillow! If we put her flat on the ground she can't roll over (so she can't really roll over yet), but she has learned to use the pillow as a ramp to avoid tummy time (which she still hates). So, no more pillow - because she has to learn to roll over all on her own.

She is still not sleeping as well at night as she used to. Last night she got up at midnight and 4am. I'm hoping the better napping at daycare might help us get back to our better nighttime sleep schedule.

Well, it is time for me to go pack our lunches (mine and hers) for school tomorrow!
