Zoë has been sitting up since April 29th. We put an egg crate mattress (what you put under your sleeping bag while camping) under her so that when she falls it won't be so painful. She is doing very well with it, but still prefers to spend time on her stomach.
Bennett often pull out the mattress, spreads it out on the floor, pats it and says "patiss sittin' Zoë." Then they sometimes play together, which is usually playing solo but side by side, and other times he lets her pull on his hair and face. What is so strange is that this often reduces him to tears because she pulls and scratches, unaware of her strength. When this happens, he holds still, doesn't try to hit her or pull back. He sort of endures it. That's when we have to pull them apart. I'm glad he doesn't hit her, but you'd think he'd try to defend himself a little more.
