Maylee is so funny. While I was making the post on Wednesday about how she only sits up if she supports herself, she started sitting up without using her hands. She did it a couple of times that day and then on Thursday she was sitting up completely unsupported all day long. And now she hardly lays on her stomach because there is no need to since she can sit up all by herself. She hardly ever falls over and if she does she usually catches herself before she hits the ground. It's almost as if I say she can't do something, she is quick to prove me wrong. But now that she can sit up, Dutch thinks of her as a little target that he needs to push over. So now he is running up to her and putting his hands on her chest and pushing her back, then she hits her head really hard. Which is very frustrating to me because I can't seem to get it through to Dutch that he needs to be nice to her. I know he loves her, he just also loves to pester her. But she's survived this long, so hopefully she'll continue to do so.

Dutch is doing so well in his big boy bed. The second night he slept in it he got up once and ever since then he hasn't gotten up at all. We put him to bed and then he wakes up in the morning, we don't have to fight him at all to stay in there. He's such a good boy. But the cutest thing ever that he just started doing is.... he has a little stuffed monkey and he'll hold his monkey like a baby and say, "Night Night" and then take the monkey into his room and he puts it in his bed and then comes out. It is so cute. And then today he sat up at the kitchen table all by himself, he wasn't even eating, he had no food, it was just him and a little toy bee, anyways him and his bee are sitting at the table and he would bow his head and then say, "Amen", he did it like three times in a row. Which melts my heart to know that he is understanding the whole prayer thing.
