sitting up?

We have been watching Jordan doing "crunches" and really wanting to sit up. She just couldn't quite get it down. The first time that I really noticed Jordan trying to sit on her own was Thursday, November 3rd. But, it was only for a few seconds and I didn't have the camera handy. However, that did not keep me from crying about the fact that my little girl is getting so big! But, over the last few days, she's gotten much better! She can sit up for close to a minute. I can tell that she is trying to balance herself when she starts to lean too far to one side. When she corrects, sometimes she overshoots and topples to the other side instead.
But, I just can't believe that she is 5 months and 4 days old...and sitting (sort of!)! Time is just flying by--next thing you know, she'll be asking for a car! Yikes...what a scary thought!

Since Jordan loves her Daddy so much, she really wants to be like him and drink out of his bottle of IBC Black Cherry Soda. It's hard to see the bottle at first since it's clear, but she is holding it with both hands. I think this might also mean that she's ready to try a cup. How much fun will that be! :)

By the way, we are at a friend's house watching the Clemson/Florida State game--hence all the orange you see!
