Sit up straight, boy!

So Duncan is getting really good at sitting up now, so much so that for the most part he’ll keep himself articulated and vertically oriented for quite some time – he spent about 45 minutes yesterday playing, and even managed to keep his balance through a sneeze:

I think that’s pretty impressive for his age, and shows some pretty good muscles in the ol’ flabby belly – he also stands really well if you keep his balance, but I don’t expect much walking from him too quick because winter’s about to set in and I’m sure he’ll be bundled up for most of it.

I still can’t get over how lucky we were with him, he’s had basically no issues at all and he even takes things like inoculations in stride. No seizures, no skin conditions (no need for eczema treatments), and maybe it’s just me but for the most part it seems like he is always happy. Seriously, if you average out all the temper tantrums and stuff I would say on average he’s unhappy less than an hour a day, and much of the time it’s our fault (wanting to go out and do something when he should be getting ready for bed is usually the culprit).

My wife laid on the floor with him yesterday after the video above was taken, and snapped quite a few photos before picking out the best ones:
