She sits! She scores!

Frances really sat on her own today. All her other attempts have ended very promptly in nose dives but she must have stayed like this for a full three minutes. We were thrilled. She must have been pretty pleased, too, after seven months of lying around.

She did nose dive shortly after this picture was taken, but, still, it's progress! It may appear that she was sitting on her own at her seven months picnic, but there was some trickery involved there. This was real deal independence.
