How motivated is your baby to crawl?

Chrisanna0508 · April 2014

Just curious if there are other "underachievers" like my baby boy.

Chrisanna0508 · April 2014

No desire to move anywhere, but I am liking that he's probably not going to be mobile for a while

I took the 2nd option, but she only goes up on her arms. Very rarely goes up on her knees. She can go anywhere she wants by rolling. So not sure she will think it's a necessary skill to learn.

I put crawling everywhere but she is doing more of an army crawl. She gets on all fours and rocks yelling in frustration. I have to watch her like a hawk as she has an affinity for power chords and dog toys. It's time to baby proof!

Crawling, trying to stand and walk. Crazy girl.

LO mostly army crawls everywhere but he regular crawls a bit. He has been pulling up on things lately and it is scaring the crap out of me.

Julian doesn't even like rolling. If he happens to roll over during tummy time, he freaks out and cries. I'm going to be carrying this kid until he's forty.

Yep. Lots off both and every time she does either, it amazes me.

Rocks on hands and knees, takes a step and face plants. Every time. He's really good at backward scooting...not sure if that's intentional or not.

He can roll across a room. He just started getting on his hands and knees. He tries to pull up sometimes but hasn't figured that out. I chose option 2.

Ss. Knows how to roll but doesn't do it regularly and def not crawling, only pushes up onto his hands, no knees. He has no desire to move!

She scoots backwards and will get up but that's it. She has figured out if she wants something she can't reach she can pull her blanket and bring it to her.

Hates tummy time still.. She rolls onto her back as soon as I put her on her tummy. She spins when on her back in circles to get places.

kimbo1216 · April 2014

Planks on hands and knees and rocks.

Pushes back but no crawling.

Mine rolls all over the place but has yet to make any move towards getting up on his knees. But he is definitely a blanket puller. He makes all the things come closer to him.

bionicb · April 2014

I don't even think she knows she has knees at this point. We are working on pushing with up/out with her arms.

Flapping fish over here.

muffyvonmuff · April 2014

I chose option 1. Kid hates tummy time. He looks up for about 1 minute content then screams open mouth into the rug/playmat. This was him happy for the first 30 seconds

chelseyestelle · April 2014

He wants to crawl really bad but he can't figure it out. He just flails all around. He makes us walk him every where though. He'll probably walk before he crawls.

PharmDMom · April 2014

He pushes up on his arms and tries to get his knees under him. He will also try to scoot backwards sometimes. But he will not roll. Ever. He will try on occasion but if he does it's usually an accident.

juliemay623 · April 2014

No rolling yet, and definitely no crawling! She's happy just sitting at this point. I know she does TT at daycare but I should probably have her do more at home with us for more practice. On the other hand, I'm happy with her not being mobile yet!

mweav1025 · April 2014

She has rolled from belly to back a few times and then lost interest and shows no interest in ever doing it again so I don't see crawling in the near future. She loves sitting up though.

MittenJennie · April 2014

DD uses rolling as her main mode of transportation but I don't think she knows where she's going - she just rolls. Sometimes she will spin in circles on her back to try to get a toy. But I think we are a far ways off from crawling. I'm not sure she has even considered it as an option.

Umm my kid hasn't even started rolling yet. He did it once and that was it. He will get to his side but has no interest in going all the way. He does girly push-ups during TT though but he only does a couple then lays down.

Pretty much this. She's 7 months tomorrow. She rolls tummy to back, but that's it. She isn't anywhere even close to crawling. I'm good with that for now, fo sho.

Chrisanna0508 · April 2014

DS must have seen me post this because he started rolling like a maniac today and trying to get his knees under him when doing tummy time. You never know with babies huh?

blondolphn · April 2014

On Tuesday, Jo was crawling an inch here or there. A foot at the most. Um tonight, after a nap she crawled the entire downstairs of our house. She wanted to come find me, nad so she set off on an adventure. Um she better sleep well tonight!

MySunshine213 · April 2014

I give it days at this point. Last week he rolled over for the first time. A few days ago he got up on his hands and toes, like a push-up. Today he got on his hands and knees. He's been able to really make his way around a room by rolling and scooting backwards. He gets pissed when he gets on all fours bc he wants to go forward but can't yet. It's like each day he gets a little closer to figuring out how to crawl, so I think he's close! DD didn't roll till 8 months and crawled at 10 months, so this feels fast to me!

ksimo6 · April 2014

Rolls like crazy but desire to crawl.

Kessho · April 2014

Rolls sometimes but mostly keeps up on his hands and hasn't learned how to get his legs under him. He also pulls on the mat to get to his toy. He also hasn't discovered his feet yet.

We are very amused when he looks like he's swimming on the carpet

Hugs the ground like a drunk frat boy. #mykidstilldoesntroll

MtnChickaD · April 2014

Can roll from tummy to back. That's it. No crawling anytime soon.
