Milestone or fluke?

MiniMadness

So, M army crawled across her crib tonight, from the top to the bottom then tried to pull her sound machine off of the side. Start of something new or overly tired? It seems WAY too early for that, right? I guess I will be able to tell if it was a milestone or fluke in the next few days.

I say it's a milestone. B is always scootching(is that even a word, lol) himself to where he wants to get. He can get himself on the other side of his crib and he will even go halfway across the living room floor.

YAY!

I also use the word scooching, btw, she scooches too! I'm almost certain she is going to get rug burn on her face from it!

I worry about rug burn too. I put a blanket on the floor and he SCOOTCHES off of it! We are going to be running around after these babies in no time!

LO will make herself across the crib too, but it's not technically crawling. Baby has to be up on hands and knees and off the belly for a crawl. I think this is more like a wiggle worm. She kicks her legs and it happens to make her move, but it's not intentional crawling.

DD has been doing that too. I haven't been counting it, but maybe I should.

Crawling is when you are on your belly like an 'army man or snake'.

Creeping is when you are on your hands and knees like a 'cat creeping up on a mouse'

Jack does this too, we call it the "army inch". (as opposed to a crawl)

Alright, we are doing the "unintentional crawl" then. She's using her legs and knees to push her body, but uses her forearms/elbows not her hands. That being said, I really don't think she understands that she is actually moving herself and she doesn't really have a motive.

Lena does the upside down inchworm... is that  a milestone?

When she's on her back, she plants her feet, arches her back and pushes and she gets some pretty good distance!
