sitting up. sorta.

I just discovered the sweetest website with handmade toys and clothes for children.  And everything is “knitted by hand”!  Am I more amazed by the fact that they can charge $48 for a toy or that they are only charging $48 for such intricate knitting?  Can’t decide.  But I do love these dolls!

Anyway, back to our own hand-knit doll baby: Lena.  (See Psalm 139:13)  Slowly but surely, she’s getting this sitting up business.  Lunchtime today, for example.  Things often begin well with Lena sitting up cute as can be:

And then the forward tilt begins.  She can prop herself up on her arms for a minute.

She achieves her goal!  Toy in mouth.  Hands are otherwise occupied.

Ohhh and then we crash.  Soft landing on Mommy.  Pick ourselves up and try again!

    She is almost there–with sitting! What a big girl she will be when we see her in a week or so. xo
