Crawling Lucas

OK, so much for posting just TODAY that Tilly would crawl first
because shes "rocking" on all fours. Lucas really likes the puffs can,
and the way it rolls and rattles. I was in the floor of the nursery
while they were playing and Lucas was playing with the can. Its
cylinder shaped and kept getting out of his reach. Before I even
realized it, he was military crawling to get it. After he realized
this new mobility, he started doing it more and more, although he is
still a tad slow.

I had assumed she would crawl first because she is on her hands and
knees, but had only read last week from babycenter that many babies
"military crawl" on their elbows and knees instead. Thats how he has
been doing his "rocking"- but I thought he wasn't strong enough to get
on his hands and knees. Everytime I tried to lift him to his hands, he
would go back to his elbows. It never dawned on me thats this was how
he might crawl.

It will be interesting to see if he keeps this up, or graduates to his
hands and knees. When Duane came home we tested him by giving him a
toy he liked four feet from him, and then watched him crawl to it!!!

I am so proud of our boy- its nice to document his "first" being ahead
of Tillys for a change!!!
