As is evident, she is getting quite comfortable with the whole sitting-up concept, and should soon be able to sit unsupported. We are lurking closer and closer to readiness for eating, which according to current theory is indicated by a) wanting to grab parental food (got that); b) being able to sit up (pretty much there); c) growing teeth (working hard at it); d) having the high chair ready to use (that's my department). Still, I'm hoping to put her off until after New Year's. It will not again be this easy to feed her until she learns how to cook.
