Baby Sitter

So we discovered something peculiar yet AWESOME about our little one. She loves to sit on the couch! How weird is that? She can be fussy and clingy and annoyed, and as soon as you sit her down on the couch she is happy as a clam. If I'm trying to get something done and she wants attention, I can sit her there and she will be quiet and still for a good 20 minutes. No TV, no toys, just her and the couch. I think it makes her feel like a big girl, which she's been trying to be since the moment she was born. The first couple of times she was up there, she fell off. Now she's learned to be careful of the edge. She will usually just sit there, but sometimes she crawls back and forth as fast as she can from one side to the other, like she's running laps. Or she'll stand up on the back and slap her hands on the wall. As long as she's on the couch, she's good to go! Here are a few couch pictures I took the other day. She usually doesn't have toys up there, but this day she had her little squeaky frog and a book. What could be better?





By the way, is anyone else as impressed by my clever title as I am? Haha! =)

McKay loves to be on the couch too... only he loves to run from one end to the other. Before he could walk he would just fall over on the pillows and laugh. Such a boy!
Lucky you to get 20 minutes! Definitely capitalize on that one!

She is so stinkin' cute! What a good girl to just sit quietly for you. If she is like my kids, it will wear off after a while, but enjoy it while you can. :-)

Thanks for the congrats! We're pretty excited. I wish you guys could be there though :( but you'll definitely have to come to the shower. Do you have Saturday nights off?

Will you email me your address? tjaco28@gmail.com Thanks!

Your title did perk my interest. I thought maybe you had found a good babysitter for Brooklyn or you were babysitting another child.
Brooklyn is really growing up and so cute!
