• Scooting…

  So now I know what scooting is.  BB started doing it today before he went to bed.  We were doing tummy time on his mat and I turned to the computer to check something for a few minutes and when I turned back around, I swore he was about a foot or two away from where he was.  I wasn’t sure at first because my depth perception sucks…so I kept watching him and sure enough, he kept inching himself backwards by pushing with his arms. 

  This only lasted a few minutes before he started fussing and crying to be let off his tummy.  For some reason, he hates rolling over even though he can do it now.  He used to cry at night when he woke up and then rolled on his stomach (WHY do you do it if you know you hate the end result!!!?) and we’d have to wake up and flip him over.  But the past few days, we found that he would sometimes fall back asleep on him tummy or his side (I guess he got stuck there in an attempt to roll back over)!  Now that we know he can roll over and push up with his arms, we’re more comfortable with just leaving him on his tummy to sleep.

  We happened to catch BB trying to pull up in the crib.  He still can only make it to his knees.  He isn’t very stable on his legs yet at all…he looks like he’s doing the hula hoop when we let him try to support most of his weight himself.
