so close!

kaiya was hanging out on her mat today - just rolling around, giggling, and being her happy little self. one of her favorite games is to try and get into a sitting position, and when she's half-way there, she rocks back and forth. she gets attention from everyone in the room b/c we start trying to encourage her to go all the way into the sitting position. the lil princess is an attention hog so you can see why this would be a fun game for her. i looked away for a second and heard a thump. my mom was sitting next to me and said "did you see that? did you see what she did?" and i didn't (of course all the fun stuff happens when i look away...) so apparently kaiya made it all the way up - but overshot it and threw her self down the other way. still, she was sitting on her butt for a second so it counts! so of course we applauded and told her how awesome she is and all that...and she started to do it again. and made it almost all the way up. she was holding herself up with one hand and looking back and forth between my mom - like she was fishing for compliments! i went to get my camera so i could be sure and catch her sitting up for the first time, and of course as soon as i pointed it at her she shook her head no, cracked up laughing, and tipped over. ohhhh this little girl has a bad attitude ;)
