If your LO crawls. . .

What did your LO do before he/she started to crawl? 

Mason can get into the crawling position and start rocking back and forth, but it doesn't last long at all.  He usually falls face first into the carpet, and starts it all over again.  I am thinking that it's going to happen any day now, but I have been saying that for at least a month now.  And, he doesn't want to be held anymore.  He arches his back and wants down on the floor.  So, is crawling in our future??

Max started with the rock back and forth thing, then went to army crawl and now is taking a few "steps" in a real crawling position before collapsing back down to the army crawl...he is a fast little booger and looks so funny doing the army crawl!

I'm pretty sure that comes right before crawling

Evelyn did that for a couple weeks before she started crawling. We did "show" her that she had to use her knees to move, though. But she's really figured it out now, and we're having fun trying to keep her out of stuff! LOL!

Leighton rocked back and forth right before she started crawling!!

Tooter did the rocking back and forth thing, but discovered the tummy crawl over the weekend.  He'll be really crawling in no time, I'm sure!  LOL

Mine went from that to a couple steps crawling at a time, then one day was full speed. NO army crawling here.

This is exactly what my daughter does. She's become very efficient at the army crawl. Yesterday I ran into the kitchen for a minute and when I came back to the living room she had made it all the way across the room and into the dog's toy basket. Keeping her away from the dog's toys has become a huge battle.

Hunter rocked back and forth like that for a few weeks before crawling, it's coming soon!
