Woe is me
So. The boy started crawling on Thursday. He wasn't really getting anywhere, but he figured out the move hand, move knee sequence. Then he'd flop down and cry for someone to come do it for him. Cause he's lazy like that.
He's been making a little more progress every time he tries this whole locomotion thing, and he's at the point now where he he can get to what he wants within a limited space. He's not doing laps around the house yet, but at his current rate of learning, I won't be able to outrun him by, say, Wednesday.
Almost more disturbing is his ability to cruise. He would much rather locomote on his feet, and he's gotten quite good at pulling up. He easily makes the transition from one prop to the next, rarely pausing to think about the dangers of letting go. In fact, if I reach down to pick him up from standing, he'll let go with both hands to reach up to me. And the scooter that freaked him out a bit last week with it's ability to slide out from under him has become a useful tool to get from the Leap Table to the coffee table.
As much as he dislikes crawling, I'm thinking he's going to keep putting his energy and efforts into this walking thing.
Help me now!
