We are in Greenwood this weekend, so I didn't bring my camera (mistake!) I have been thinking that maybe Mary Catherine could sit on her own, but today, I tested her. And low and behold - she can sit for quite awhile by herself. I even had a toy out in front of her - she just sat there reached out and started playing with the toy.
So, tonight at dinner, we cleaned up Ella's old booster seat that we used to sit her in at the table (instead of using a highchair). We strapped it to a chair at the dinner table and put Mary Catherine in it. She sat at the table with us for dinner and just sat there looking at us, watching, smiling and occasionally sucking her thumb.
Ella wasn't too sure about Mary Catherine using her seat though. She had to sit in it a few minutes, whine about it a few minutes, and then I think she was okay with it. She ended up giving Mary Catherine a hug and a kiss and insisting that her chair be much closer to Ella's chair than it originally was.
Bitter sweet...that's for sure. Awesome to see your child reach a milestone, but sad that time is ticking so fast.
