Pre-Crawl

Ava's newest thing is getting up on her knees and rocking back and forth. She will move one knee and one arm and then drop back down on her tummy.

I try to put toys out of her reach so she'll go for them but she either puts her head down, her butt in the air and uses her head and toes to move forward or drops to her tummy and rolls around to get what she wants. She's also pretty good at just getting mad until you give her what she wants...

Positive reinforcement goes along way though, especially clapping - she loves clapping.

She'll be in to things in no time now!
Kyle started off crawling backwards, can you imagine that! It was hilarious. After about a month he decided to go forward.
Justin did the army crawl. He'd pull himself along with his arms/elbows. It was too cute. He actually did that for quite awhile. It's funny how they all seem to have their own method.
