Payton's sitting

Its interesting that Payton and Livy learned to sit at almost the same corrected age.  I remember when Livy learned to sit up on her own, it was literally the last couple of days in January 2009.  The fact that Livy and Payton's due dates were within 1 day of each other make their development in this department also within a day or so of each other.

Two days ago (Jan 30) Payton went from sort of sitting but only if balanced to by the end of the day being able to balance herself in part by shifting her body weight and in part by putting a hand down when needed.

She's still not great to be left alone (every once in a while she looks up and falls over) but for the most part she will sit on her own for several minutes (or until she's bored with whatever she's playing with.

On another note, potty training in our house has developed into a non pattern pattern.  In otherwords, we've been trained to expect nothing. Some hours/days are good for either girl and some are simply diaper hours/days.

Still, its different and for that reason we'll assume its forward movement.
