ALMOST crawling!!

Well after almost 8 months of life, Parker is FINALLY VERY close to crawling!!! For probably about 2 months now he has been really close and everyone who saw him in crawling position told us he'd be crawling "any day now!" For a while he would just roll wherever he wanted to go. Then he started scooting to wherever he wanted to go, often by propelling himself forward by using one foot to push himself across the floor. Then he would get up in crawling position and rock with his little bottom in the air...too cute!! Next he did a combination of scooting, propelling and rotating quickly in circles to wherever he wanted to go. Then today he did a brand new technique that was very close to "army crawling". He grabbed the ground with his hands, lifted his belly off the ground and moved his body forward. It was the closest thing he has done to crawling so far!! Previously he hasn't lifted his belly off the ground so we're thinking that might be the last step before an actual crawl, or at least an army crawl. I have included a video of this almost crawling that I recorded on my camera. I have an even better video of it on the video camera so I'll try to upload that soon! :)

  1. You have to upload the video to vimeo or youtube or something first. Then, you embed the video in your blog. Very different from photos.
