A few more sitting up questions...

#1--What do you consider officially "sitting up"?

DS can sit unassisted for 2-5 minutes... But he'll still get distracted by something and loose balance.

#2--For those mom's that have babies that are officially sitting up. What does your child do when they are tired of sitting up?

I guess I'm asking--is it normal for them to just fall? Do they cry and want you to pick them up/lay them down? Or do they have their own--more graceful way of laying back down?

    1.  I considered sitting up when he actually sat by himself for a few seconds :)  I was proud he could do that now today he is almost 6 months old and can sit for long long periods playing with toys.

    2.  When he is done sitting he sometimes whines or he flops to his belly and scoots around in a circle.  Or if he falls backwards I just laugh at him so he doesn't get scared and start crying...so far so good!

    I considered Charlotte officially sitting when I could plop her on the floor and just let her play with no worries of her falling.

    When she doesn't want to sit anymore, she lets herself fall over and catch herself on her hands. She does it with intent and rarely hurts herself doing it.

    All of this.

    I started saying he was sitting up when he could sit unassisted for minutes on end. When he's done he will whine, slowly fall backwards, lunge forward onto his belly or all of the above.

    I considered "sitting up" when I felt comfortable plopping her down in the sitting position and then walking away (this started about 3 weeks ago).  At first when she was done she would flop onto her belly, then roll to do what she needed, now she can "crawl out" of the sit, I'm just waiting for her to go from crawling to sitting on her own.  She's been very close a few times, but got distracted.
