I know there will be some people reading this who won’t believe it and will think I’m making it up, but I’m going to write it anyway so I won’t forget when I finally get a baby book, because Breanna just did something else for the first time.

She was lying on the floor looking at the baby gym toys, and she started fussing because she was bored. I said we could practice sitting, so I put an index finger inside each of her fists and slowly started pulling her up to a sitting position. She gave me a big grin as we stopped and then pulled herself right up to a standing position! Granted, her legs are nowhere near ready for that so she didn’t stay up for long and the only reason she didn’t fall was because she was still clinging to my fingers, but my baby – my little baby! – just pulled up to standing for the first time.

I completely freaked out. I’m surprised I didn’t just flat-out drop her.

Someone please tell my 4.5 month old baby to slow the hell down.
