Crawlers

DD just started crawling today! She will be 6 months on Thursday. I am scared and excited at the same time :) who else has lo's on the move?

Re: Crawlers

  • I do! It's crazy. They're so young. My son isn't crawling in his knees yet, though. He started his own modified army crawl about two weeks ago. He uses his feet and his forehead to do kind of an inch worm thing. It is bizarre and now turned into more of the army crawl. I have to give him extra points for creativity! Haha!

  • Haha I would love to see that @deanna1313‌! She crawls on her hands and knees and randomly sticks her butt up in the air. It's pretty entertaining!
  • Yeah I am a little nervous for tomorrow... our first day of her being on the move! She just started crawling at like 9pm.
  • I can't believe how fast he is moving. I think keeping up with his big brother is good motivation.

  • Things are going to get interesting fast! He gets frustrated by not being able to reach what he wants so he had motivation. He's not even 6 mths until the end of the month which is too early in my opinion.
  • Wow! I am surprised at how early this is happening! H is starting to put her butt in the air a lot and trying to scoot forward but I've only seen her move that way in her crib at night of course when she's supposed to be sleeping! So I'm thinking any day now she'll be moving. She's kind of been a late bloomer on things though so we will see. She did just start sitting on her own. We were getting her 6 month pictures on Monday and the lady said is she sitting on her own yet and I said well she's still a bit wobbly so I'll stand near her just in case and she sat there by herself the whole time without wobbling or falling. So I'll be putting that in the books.

  • M has been on the move for a couple of weeks now. I really don't feel ready-- my house has an open floor plan, so I used to be able to walk into the kitchen for a minute or two no problem. Well, I did that and returned just in time to see her about to put her mouth on a dog toy. Yipes!

  • We're at any day! He's full on army crawling and then sticks his butt in the air to push himself forward. So close!! I can't believe we're at this point - half a year already lol

  • I haven't actually seen DS move yet but the other morning when I went to get him, he was on his tummy on the opposite end of the crib from where we put him down! Sometimes he kicks enough to move himself so I'm wondering whether he kicked and rolled himself there or he actually crawled.

  • I'm not ready! Mobile=game over.
    Beb didn't start crawling until closer to 7 months so far they've been on similar milestone timelines.

    Agreed! I was just thinking today that we should get our carpets cleaned - and I'm already dreading it!
  • We have been trying to clean our carpets for like a year and haven't done it yet. Now is probably a good time :)
  • My guy has been on the move for a couple weeks now. Still trying to babyproof- finally got Skip Hop foam tiles for the kitchen which have already prevented quite a few bumps on the noggin.
  • Any day now. He tried so hard to move, he just can't make it work yet. He can get up on his knees, but can't figure out how to move like that. He either just flings himself toward what he wants and hopes he gets close enough, or he flops back down to his belly and flails at it. He can turn himself in a full circle though, so if it's too far away he'll just turn and roll to what he wants instead of even trying to crawl :-/

    Seriously. I am not looking forward to that. There's clean, and then there is "clean enough for my baby to crawl on/lick)."
    have you tried tying a towel around LOs belly? awesome dust mop!

    Awesome! I was thinking about something for her legs, as she likes to scoot herself backward until her legs are under the couch.
  • I'm pretty sure that DD is going to crawl any day now. However, she has been getting around by barrel rolling. All.Over.The.House. Mobile babies are total game changers!
