First “semi” crawl

Posted on:

Ethan took his first step in crawling on July 22nd, 2014.  He gets frustrated very easily when he landed on his tummy.  A day later, he quickly learned how to sit up from his tummy.  Now that he has a “safe” place to go back to, he would one step and back on his butt.  We had to use a very enticing bait to encourage him to crawl (i.e: my cell phone).  In this video, you will see that he would take one-step forward using his right leg and shuffle his left leg (crossed) forward.  He would then reset to his sitting position and repeat those motion again until he reaches his target.  So for now, he moves rather slowly but he can gradually scoot himself towards the sides of the mat where he meets the hard tile flooring.
