And a follow up question... what can I do to encourage sitting?

I try to pull her up from the laying down position to the sitting position a few times a day and I also sit her inbetween my legs and let her play. 

So far, she hates sitting.

Anything else I should be doing?

I don't really care when she sits but I'm trying to help her along if I can.

    I don't have an answer, but I do want to confess that I can't wait for A to sit.  That begins my favorite baby times.

    What I do/did, is spread his legs far apart to give him a bigger surface area to help him sit stable. Then I put tons of toys on his lap, which encourages him to sit up straight instead of slouching forward. Then I put the boppy pillow around him.

    Love the siggy!

    The silly selfish reason I can't wait for sitting to begin is because I want to take cute sitting photos of her. I have so many laying down photos! Okay, I'm nuts. Take your time little baby.

    I have her sit up in the bobby with toys.  If she can focus on something her balance seems to be better.  She loves to sit though - she's likes to be able to see more of what is going on.

    I mainly just pull her from the laying position to the sitting position and then into a standing position while she holds on my my fingers.  Her favorite is the standing position but as she gets better at sitting she likes it a bit more.

    She also really likes to sit on my lap while I read books, she tries to reach forward towards the books so I think that helps with upper body strength, maybe?

    This is true for us, also. She can sit for about 15-20sec on her own now, but that has happened very quickly!
