Jacob sits: now on video!

I always think about shooting a video of Jacob sitting up at the end of the day when he's completely wiped from his all-day baby workout. He gets a little sluggish then maneuvering himself to sit up. This is in contrast to his mad skillz throughout the day, when all one need do is put him on his tummy and sha-zaam! he's already bolt upright and reaching for big brother's toys, or the rail of the crib.

Three days after he first figured out this whole sitting-by-himself business, he is amazingly stable when upright, but not perfectly so. He has, in the words of his brother, "bonked his head" so many times ... well, I won't elaborate much further so you don't sic CPS on me, but let's just say that I am no longer allowed to leave his side for probably the next two weeks while he builds up his abs, lest he careen too far backwards or to the side and concuss himself. Just when I was enjoying that I could leave him alone on the floor in a room for a second while I, say, went pee...

He already a big red "bonk" on his right temple there -- that was not from sitting up, but from wrestling with Mommy during a diaper change at the pool, wherein she just barely saved him from rolling his precious lard butt off a lounge chair and onto the concrete below.

But I digress -- the video! I shot this after bathtime tonight, so not only do you get to see Jacob's new trick, but you also get your squooshy-rolled baby fix.
