Sitting up and going to the park

We have been working on sitting up with Addie for quite some time now and she finally seems to have it down...for the most part. At times, she plays for 10-15 minutes without any faceplants, but other times (when she gets really excited and jerky) she may continually fall over without much time in between. We now know Addie is totally capable of sitting up on her own, but she does not always choose to use this new skill of hers. Here are some pictures of the sitting:

I just busted this toy out the other day because I thought Addie might like it (she is totally into anything that makes noise or has lights...or both). She loves it, so I'm glad I realized it was time to pull it out!

We got a few good shots of her here:

Napping together...except Mommy wasn't actually asleep.

On Saturday, we took Addie to the park for a little bit since it was such a beautiful day outside. We weren't there long, but Addie got to "play" on the playground for the first time! Daddy took her down the slide, which we thought she was going to love. Addie normally enjoys being tossed around (she really likes it when we pretend to drop her a little), but when she went on the slide, she surprisingly seemed to have no reaction. I guess it wasn't fast enough for her-I wonder how long until she can go on a roller coaster? Here is the before picture:

And they made it to down:Addie also got to try out the swing. I don't know if you can tell, but we did have to stuff a blanket behind her since the seat was huge. As an infant, Addie never liked the swing we had, so we didn't know what she would think of going on a swing now. You can decide for yourself as to whether or not she liked it:

Sorry the video is sideways...I have no idea how to turn it. If you are prone to motion sickness, you probably don't want to watch this, but otherwise, enjoy:
