"This last week I really showed my mom and dad what I could do. Because of my flexibility I can sit up easily when I'm laying on my stomach. I just spread my legs straight out from my sides and push myself back with my hands until my bum goes past my legs. Then all I have to do is swing my legs forward and I'm sitting up. I can even do it from my back by rolling over into the splits and pushing backwards to sit up.

"I also learned to play a game with Daddy. When I'm laying on my stomach daddy will say 'up', and I will push up with my hands, then when daddy says down and lays on his stomach, I copy him. We have a good time.

"The other morning, mommy came to get me out of bed and found me sitting up, well sort of sitting up. I was sitting on my bum, but my body was laying down between my legs. It's my crazy flexibility again."
