Slowly but surely little man is figuring out how to crawl. It has started out with him learning to get up on all fours and be so excited that he could do that. Then a few days later he figured out how to be on all fours and then push his butt up in the air where his knees were no longer on the ground just his feet and hands! Then we went on to the rocking back and forth! He does this part a lot! It is the cutest thing ever! He get so excited and just laughs the whole time!
I know people will think we are crazy for saying this and later I might even regret saying it but we are so ready for him to crawl! I know we need to baby proof the cabinets and the plugs and get some baby gates and then we will be chasing him all over the place everywhere we go but we could not be more ready! It is just so exciting to us to see him learning new things and being so excited when he figures little things out!
I have even once tried to help him figure out how to move his hands with his knees when he crawls because that is the only thing left he has to figure out and he got so mad at me! He literally did this high pitch scream and started to cry! I figured out right away that he does not want our help and he will figure it out on his own when he is good and ready!
Lately he has been really rocking back and forth and then kind throwing himself forward and then moving his knees to catch up! Of course this moves him around places but it isn't really crawling!
Then today at work I got a text from Valarie(the babysitter) that she had put Channing down on the living room floor next to he couch. Her son Nathan was in the middle of the floor with his small cars couch. Channing decided he wanted to be over by nathan and just took off. She said he slowly started to move his arms with his knees and finally made it to Nathan! She said it was a very slow process and he isn't taking off or anything but he finally moved his arms! Once he got to Nathan he laid next to him and Nathan told Valarie that it was night night time and covered up Channing with his blanket and patted him on the back to try to get him to go to sleep! That is the cutest thing ever!! I can't believe very soon Channing will be crawling and be all over the place! Maybe he will have it all figured out for my birthday! That would be a wonderful gift!
