Sitting up in crib...

So, in the past few weeks DD has learned to sit up on her own and crawl.
Lately, when she wakes up she sits right up in the crib and doesn't realize she can lay herself back down.
Then she SCREAMS her head off, I lay her back down and she just screams more and occassionally will fall back to sleep but most times not.
She is waking up about an hour or so earlier than her usual time and is not happy.
How long does this last????

I'm the only one whose child does this?? Please tell me that's not true!

I dont remember my kids doing this but I would think it wouldnt last too long. She'll probably figure it out very shortly, babies are so good at devoting all their energy to something new that Im sure it'll be short lived.
