No more Army crawl....

...it's on to the big boy hands and knees crawl. Steve has been working with Josiah on this because someone told him that it is vitally important for a child's brain development to learn the back and forth motion of crawling on their hands and knees. And out of the blue, just last night, he started doing it on his own. He has been doing it a little bit, just one or two steps, but now he can go across the entire room that way. If you ever saw him do the army crawl, you know that he pushed off with one leg while he kept the other one straight. He does a similar thing now, using one of his legs to push. It is kind of funny. Soon he will be up and walking and we will really be in trouble!!

on to the "one legged jiggy crawl". that's what we used to call my baby (now 10) brother's one legged scoot that he adopted shortly before...

...walking! (you're in for it, now!)
