I do most of my work in my bed during the day. I lie here, work on the laptop and watch Nathaniel over the video monitor. Watching him while he sleeps is something I cherish. I often have to stop myself from going into his room and giving him a kiss.

Today, I was watching him play on his bed before he falls asleep and I saw him go on all fours and rock back and forth like he's been doing for a few weeks. But then he rolled on his side and sat up. All by himself. He sat up and grabbed his two little teddy bears and played and played.

I was so amazed that I broke my rule of never going back in and grabbed my camera to take a shot.

And now he sits up all by himself. This kid never ceases to amaze me.
