| If you mean able to remain sitting without assistance, DS at a little over 6 months, DD right around 5 months. I can't remember how old they were when they could push themselves into sitting. |

| DS is 6.5 months and can still only do it unsupported for a few seconds before toppling to one side. I was starting to worry, but his pediatrician said at the 6 month appt that it was still within normal. I was too relieved by that to ask when I *should* start to worry, so hopefully he'll learn soon! |

5.5 MONTHS. BUT SHE DID EVERYTHING EARLY, INCLUDING WALKING AT 9 MONTHS.
EVERY BABE IS DIFFERENT AND MOST IT HAS TO DO WITH GENETICS. |

| DS didn't sit unsupported until 8 months, crawled at 10 months - is now 3 and runs circles around me, so being a bit on the late side didn't seem to mean anything. Dr. was never concerned. |

| I don't really remember, but DS started crawling as 6 mos, so I'd guess he sat at 5mos. However, he did not walk until 15mos!!! I guess he started crawling too early and was happy doing that. |

Coincidence that sitting up is a prerequisite for starting solids? Mother Nature has it all figured out. Enjoy this phase - aren't the babies just growing up so fast? |
