New Tricks

Zane learned a new trick today!

Part 1: I went in to get him after a nice long afternoon nap and, lo and behold, he was trying to escape! This came as quite a shock, since he's never sat up on his own before. He was delighted in himself, as well as his mommy who squealed and clapped and screamed for him to stay where he was so she could get the camera.

Part 2: Daddy put him down for the night and he cried like he was being tortured for a good fifteen minutes. Now, he usually cries himself to sleep, but this seemed different. I went to check on him and, lo and behold, he again was sitting up. This time he was not delighted as he obviously wanted to lay down, but didn't know how.

Conclusion: I guess the can had to be invented before the can opener? I suppose he will eventually learn to lay himself down.
