Do we have a sittter?

I've been working on sitting unassisted with Kali for a few days now.  She can do it for about 2 seconds before she topples over.  I think it's cause she's lazy and would rather lay down and roll around than sit up and play.  But every day when we get home, I sit on the floor with her and we "practice".  Last night I was actually able to get a picture of her sitting (which means that it was longer than 2 seconds!).

LOOK AT ME! I'M SITTING ALL BY MYSELF!!!

But then she immediately toppled over, bonked her head on one of her toys, and looked at me like it was my fault.  ::sigh:: But I guess this is why we practice, daily.

See...I'd rather lay here and play with my toys than sit!! Much easier! =)

This is what happens when I try to get her to sit....

LOL!

Kali is also starting to see the dog (Junior) and react to him. Last night I was throwing the toy for him, and she was staring as I got the toy and threw it, then would giggle when he brought it back. It was cracking me up!

So when we were on the floor practicing sitting, Junior came over to play (basically he was trying to sit in my lap, because he doesn't realize that he's a 60lb lab, and thinks he's a lap dog).  He's just getting to the point of letting Kali pet him.  At first he would look at her like "Don't even attempt to touch me you intruder!" And then he'd look at me like "THIS! This is YOUR fault.  You brought her in here...and now she's trying to touch me. Send her back!"  But now I think he's figured out that she's not leaving and has admitted defeat.  Periodically he'll come over for me to pet him and I'll let Kali touch him (she loves the feel of his fur), but I always make her stop when she goes to banging on him (which I'm sure he appreciates). 

OK, back to last night...he came to play as we were sitting on the floor.  I let Kali pet him, and he seemed to be enjoying it.  I wanted to see what he would do when I sat her on him (cause you know it's going to happen when she gets older.  She's going to try and ride him like a horse!!! He's just going to LOVE me then!).  So I sat her on him while he was laying on his side.  He didn't budge.  She was petting him and feeling his fur, and he just laid there! We have the best dog ever!

 I just love her face in these.  Like "Why am I sitting on the dog?"  They're great, and they're going to be the best of friends one day! (And we love BabyLegs!!!!)

And, her new favorite daily activity: Playing with a tag. 

I can't help it.  This just makes me laugh so hard! She can find the tag to ANYTHING and immediately starts to play with it. 

Last night, while she was in her jumperoo, I saw her playing with the tag to her bib.  Her BIB of all things.  So, naturally, I got a video! =)  And then a little while later she was trying to grab at the tags hanging from her jumperoo.  I mean, she's enthralled by tags! Funniest.Thing.Ever!
