Sitting Up and less spitting up

We are sitting up so good these days!! I am very excited for Kate. I have been waiting for her to be able to sit up on her own. I think there are some things that your baby accomplishes, and you think: aww.. she's growing up! I wish we could go back. But this is not one of them for me. I love that she can sit on her own (just about).
This is from 1-1/2 months ago. If you held her arms, she could sit up but would slump a little.
Then we would fall over!
Then in September, she started being able to sit with the boppy pillow. Finally, this thing is coming in handy (there are times when I hated that thing for nursing - just didn't work for me). We love the boppy pillow now.
And in the tub she's getting the hang of it! It allows her to play a lot more.
This photo was taken yesterday at my friend Lisa's. I think she is the cutest thing in this photo. Maybe it's her expression or how she's sitting. She kept turning to the pillow and lightly touching it with her hand.

Today, she started saying, "Mm.. Mm." I am encouraging Mama, of course. She also started pulling herself with her arms while lying on her stomach. We must be getting closer to crawling.


That's all on the Kate update today! Hope everyone has a good weekend.
I have pumpkin sausage pasta on the brain... going to try out this new recipe for dinner tonight. Sounds like a yummy dish for this fall weather.
