New Trick

This past Sunday, when I came in to fetch a fussing Porter from his afternoon nap, he greeted me like this:

"Bout time, Ma!"

At first, I thought it was just a fluke. Surely my dude wasn't already able to push himself up to sitting. His big bro didn't do that for like another month. Yet, at the end of Monday's nap:

"Clearly you underestimate me, Mother."

Okay, maybe this kid really can push up to a sitting position! Once again today, I opened his door and found him upright, just waiting patiently for me. I couldn't believe it.

"Believe it, Mommy!"

Priority #1:

I have got to get this child's mattress lowered. 

Sheesh.
