@akire: oh my gosh!! That sounds so intriguing... how did you decide to use a surrogate? Is it someone you know?
@MrsTiz: I had nooo idea you were so young!!
I thought of you as so much older. Not in a bad way at all @TurtleDoves: oh my gosh I loooove your name!! it's sooo pretty. It was always one of my favorites, but DH didn't like it and I feel like it's so prevalent in black communities that it wouldn't fly.

@Coco Bee: Haha don't worry, I get that more often than not.
@akire: I'm curious too!

@Coco Bee: He started sitting up at 5.5 months for about a minute at a time and now he can sit for 15-20 minutes. He is far from getting into a seated position on his own though. He is the opposite of your DS...he just rolled back to tummy 2 weeks ago (and only does it in his crib) and he has no interest in being on his tummy or crawling! At least Cobi is somewhat mobile!
