All in just ONE week!

It's amazing how much a baby can learn in just one week! One week, Sean and I were trying to force Aben to roll onto his tummy from his back, but he would always refuse! He hated being on his stomach. The next week, he suddenly started rolling onto his stomach all the time! It's like a light bulb went on and he realized there were so many more toys he could get to if he simply rolled over :). Once he finally rolled over, Sean and I started to talk about how he still seemed to be far from sitting on his own. Aben was doing okay sitting up, but would constantly tip side-to-side if one of us wasn't sitting right behind him. But of course, the very next day, I decided to give it another try and sat Aben up, and what do you know....
He was suddenly a pro!
Aben now loves to sit up and play. It is definitely his preferred position to play in and he does so good. He hardly ever tips over- if he does, it's usually because he is trying to get a toy that is just a little too far away. I love how curious and persistent Aben is. Now that he's sitting up, I can tell he is ready to be able to crawl all over the place. He just wants to be able to get to everything he can see! What a joy he is!
(P.S. Even though I graduated from BYU, I am a definite Utes fan...and what can I say...Aben looks pretty awesome in his Utes outfit!)
