I never wanted to wish Millie's life away, but oh my I couldn't wait till she could sit up by herself. This
'in arms' phase really kicked my butt (as they say). I am not getting any younger. My back certainly wasn't. And neither were my other two lively needy kids!!

I really love the idea of the Ground Touching Ceremony that many cultures have but realistically, in this insular society, Millie was surely out of my arms, and on the floor, during that time. As much as she was 'The Baby That Must Be Held', there were times when I was 'The Mummy That Needs To Go' and she was laid on a towel or on the sofa for a few minutes before she wailed to be picked up. There was nothing wrong with her 'fear of mastodon attack' instinct, that's for sure!
So now that Millie is finally sitting up on her own here are a few things she can do! It really has opened up a whole new world for both of us.: -
