sitting "ma ma" bridge

It was an eventful week! Z kindly waited for me to stop working to start showing off new tricks. He can now sit by himself (photo), although he's wobbly enough (and the floor hard enough) that we wrap the boppy pillow around his legs to give him a cushion. He's able to hold himself up in a bridge - on his knees and hands (ala the picture). He rocks back and forth a bit and sometimes scoots his knees forward - he's our carpet commado. His list of solid foods is growing: rice, banana, pear, and prune - this week the new food is oatmeal. So far, he's not too crazy about it. Pears seem to be the big favorite. It also seems that he might be calling nursing, "ma ma." Either that or it's just fun to say...not sure yet.
