So today is Lincoln's birthday and I promise to do a proper 1st birthday once all of the festivities are over but I wanted to share what he has been doing this past month. My son is officially "the anti-crawler." He will not crawl! Just refuses to do it. You may wonder...how then does he get around? My son has figured out that it is just as effective to roll to the places that he wants to go. He even likes to lay on his back and push his body back with his feet as well. I don't understand it but it is what works for him. So he basically needs to figure out how to get from his stomach/back to sitting up because he has the sitting to standing thing down now. He pulls himself up on everything that he can now and is currently cruising the furniture or on his walker. Now I know what you are thinking....doesn't it make since for a kid to crawl before he walks? Yes, in fact it does but I'm not really sure how you teach your kid to crawl. We try keeping him on his stomach to encourage him to crawl but he gets up on all fours then straightens his legs out and rolls. But at least he is getting pretty good at walking. I am pretty sure that this kid is going to run as soon as he figures out the whole balance by himself. When he holds our hands, he walks so fast. Here are some pictures of him cruising around stuff and a video. I promise that he doesn't hit his head at the end of the video.
Sorry the video is sideways...wasn't thinking about that when he walking for only the 2nd time with that walker!
