How do they get into a sitting position?

I just can't visualize it? It's not from their back where they sit up right? It's from the belly? My DS is 7.5 mos and has been sitting for over two months without support but never gets into the position on his own and I'm just wondering how he would do it so I can show him! TIA!

My 7 month old can sit from her laying on her back. But it's in stages -- she first props herself up on one side with an elbow and then keeps pushing until she's sitting up.

But I know what you mean -- mostly she's put into sitting position and can stay that way.

It all goes by so fast but I actually do remember this (not that it was that long ago when my son started)

He would be laying on his belly and would sort of lean to one side (think supermodel beach pose) then he would push off the floor with one arm and inch, inch, inch with that arm until he was up.

From the crawling position he just stops, leans to the side and get's his butt down. It's so much more of a smooth quick motion now that it's hard to visualize how he does it because there's no time to take it in. Before when it was new it took a while so we could watch.

Also...he gets in the sitting position from a stand...just plops right down on his backside...then he flips a little to get to the crawl position...and watch out!

Its more from their side that they sit up..unless your my eldest daughter who has low muscle tone and really flexible joints and could literally do it from her belly..

At first my DS would almost roll over and then half way through kick his legs out & push himself with his arms, Now at 10+ mos he can sit up from laying on his back.
