LO is Trying to Fly...

coffeeandbooks

So it looks like LO is now trying to fly during tummy time.    He pushes his legs up and out behind him and his arms up and out in front of him.  He then gets frustrated because alas he can't take off.  Crying then ensues.

Anyone else have a baby that did this or is doing this?

Additional info - My LO had been a very early roller from stomach to back.  He had developed on a one leg kick off technique at about two months which he doesn't seem to use anymore.  Maybe now he is working on a fully body roll technique?

I guess I am a little concerned that he now seems stuck on his stomach when he had mastered getting off it before.

Hahaha yes! Superman! C does this when he reeeeally wants to move forward. I try to tell him that if he'd just put his feet down, he might actually go somewhere...but alas, he doesn't listen.

Lex does this too, but she doesn't roll and shows no signs of doing so in the near future. She's an underachiever.

Yea. He's trying to crawl but is going about it all wrong, picking up arms and legs and trying to scoot on his belly. lol

W does this all the time. He grunts and growls while doing it and seems confused when he doesn't move. It's adorable!

C sorta does this, but for some reason she leaves her arms by her sides and just arches her back and kicks like crazy. It looks really uncomfortable.

Thanks guys feeling better about this now. I was thinking lo was trying to roll but I think you are right it is a pre-crawl move.

I have a little skydiver here. She puts her arms out and back and her legs and arches her back. Then screams and grunts while he tries to crawl. Apparently they are strengthening their back.
