Sit up, stand up!

Who is playing the sit and stand game with their LO?  Okay, so it's not really a game, but it is when you lift them up by holding their hands from a laying position.  First position is sitting, then you keep pulling gently and they stand up.  DS loves it!  He gets the hugest smile on his face when he gets all the way to standing!!  It is crazy seeing him "standing" with just me holding his hands.  It is our latest addition to tummy time.  

We also do the sitting balance thing - I help him into a sitting postion and let him try and balance himself.  I keep a hand on either side so he doesn't flop over and bang his head.  He hasn't figured out how to use his arms yet - he keeps them bent instead of extending them to help hold himself up.

Glad someone in this house is getting their workouts in!  Wink

    We are! I haven't tried letting go in sitting position but he loves to pull up. When he is hungry for a bottle he tries to sit up on his own. He doesn't get very far but I can tell he is getting stronger.

    DS loves it! It's my alternative to tummy time since he hates that anymore. He can sit up for a few second on his own!

    We do! I don't 'pull' her to standing by her hands too often. I do it to sitting and I let her try to balance herself. She thinks it's so funny. She loves to stand but I usually pick her up to a stand position and hold either side of her tummy.

    We've been doing it for a long time. DD started pushing against us to "stand" about 4 or 6 weeks. Girl is crazy good on her legs and looooooves standing or sitting up. It really amazes me! She loves the pull up game and starts to smile when I say "1...2...3........" hehehe

    Max loooooves this. Sometimes I sit him in front of a mirror and do it, and he'll take little steps toward the mirror. He also loves being hung upside down. I sit him on my lap, facing away from me. Then I hold him by his thighs and slowly pull him up, until his head lifts off my chest. It always gets a big, gummy smile. (I don't hold him there long and I always do it over a soft surface)

    Hah! I lift Anna into a sitting position from laying down, and she looks at me like "Mom, WTF are you doing?"

    We do! Sometimes I hold him under the armpits and help him sit and stand repeatedly really quickly, and we say sit up and stand up in funny/sing song voices and he laughs and laughs. Love it!
