Sitting Pretty

Paralyzing illness? What paralyzing illness? This baby doesn't look like she's recovering from paralysis. In fact, she's getting close to sitting up again. Vita can sit up for a few seconds, sometimes even a minute, before toppling over. Vita has also made peace with the lawn that might have given her botulism. (It's likely that when we planted this grass just a few days before Vita got sick, spores of botulism were released from the soil into the air, and Vita inhaled them.) Don't worry, it's safe for Vita to play on the lawn, and we plan to have a lot of summer fun on this lawn! Vita is also starting to eat more solids, including yam (which she loves). In this picture, Ernie is trying to feed her, but I keep distracting her.
