Lizzy is tripoding. Tripoding is when babies are trying to learn how to sit up, and they use their hands for balance--like a tripod. They are still tippy (hence the boppy pillow), but they can sit up like this unassisted for a few seconds to a minute. I discovered that she can do this last night, and I was SHOCKED, because all my baby books list this as a 6 month milestone. People always tell me that she's strong for her age, but I don't think I really believed them until just now. She's only 3 months!
Awww! So cute! My little boy is a week and a few days shy of 6 months and he's been doing this for a week or so! They grow SO fast!
ReplyDeleteMy baby does this too now, and she only 3.5 months! its amazing!
ReplyDeleteOh and I'm a new follower BTW : )You can check out my blog at:

She looks like she is breaking that out 3 months early! Awesome!!
ReplyDeletego baby go!
ReplyDeleteWhat i've learned about baby book milestones are that they make you feel your child is a protegee :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a big girl! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a big girl!! :) The baby I nannied for didn't really sit up on her own consistently until she was almost 9 months old... She was a little bit of a late bloomer! :)
ReplyDeleteHi! I'm a new reader. I have a six and a half month old and she started doing the same thing too at that age. At six months, she's already crawling and able to get from her tummy to sitting position. She's just in the last week starting to pull herself up to a standing position when you hold her hands. Looks like Lizzy will be doing the same thing too soon! BTW she is so cute, but I know you already knew that! : )
ReplyDeleteIsn't it crazy?! Isaac does this too. We grow strong babies, mama! My pedi tells me he'll be mobile early because of his strength. Sounds like you'll have the same. :)
ReplyDeleteI think my little man skipped the tripod stage and went straight to sitting on his own, lol. He'll be 6 months next week!
ReplyDeleteThey grow so fast!
Way to go Lizzy! I think you have a future personal trainer on your hands;)
ReplyDeleteWow - that is early! Woohoo, go Lizzy!
ReplyDeleteI know nothing about baby milestones except that she is darling sitting up by herself!
ReplyDeleteWow, that's impressive! She will be sitting up on her own (without the boppy and hands) in no time! Get ready, mama! It all moves so fast!
ReplyDeleteYour baby is very advanced for her age, I am always amazed by her early milestones! Jill is just content being on her back all of the time!!!! I read your blog post above and we are still battling the swaddling issue too. We do the one arm swaddle at night but then again Jill isn't rolling yet so we do not have that to worry about. We don't use a blanket, we use the Halo sleep sack with swaddle feature as a swaddle. You can velcro only one arm and her legs are in the sleep sack. Perhaps you can buy one of those? It may help since it won't trip her up too much like a blanket. I hope all is well, Miss L is adorable, as always!
