We've got a sitter

As mentioned recently Cole could sit for a few seconds at a time before tipping over.  This was the case as recently as the 4th of July weekend.  Early the following week, he rapidly gained strength and officially became a sitter.

While he occassionally tips over sideways or backwards, when he gets excited and stiffens his back, and we still have to put cushions around him, he can sit for minutes at a time playing and looking around.

It's still so fun to witness these milestones the second time around.  And it still amazes me how quickly they pick things up.
