No, she isn’t crawling. And no, she isn’t walking just yet. She is scooting. She scoots around on her booty like a crab. And she can get around just as fast as a crawler when she wants to. She just has to find the right motivation.
We have tried everything to get her to crawl. Tummy time, soft foam rolls, Elmo videos on an iPad, you name it! Our little genius has figured out anything she can think of to get out of being on her stomach. She figured out early on how to roll, and she has now figured out how to get to the sitting position pretty quickly.
However, this has not stopped her from getting into everything in and around her. She is just as mischievous as the next baby, and will stop at nothing to get her hands on everything she’s not supposed to.
She is on the cusp of walking on her own, and is anxious to do so. She has taken a couple of steps and has learned to not gracefully fall on her bottom from a standing position. We have what is known as “Captain Save-a-Sister” in our home. Her big brother comes to her rescue every chance he gets, so we are convinced this may be why she never crawled. However, it is super cute, and she has figured this out. She plays this to her advantage already, and somehow already knows that she can rely on her brother to get her out of a sticky situation whenever she the need arises.
Our son hit every milestone by the book, so he was very easy. Our daughter on the other hand, seems to want to do things her own way, and on her own time. And we are okay with that. She is developmentally hitting all her marks, just making her time her own.
