Joey's "crawl"?

Joey hasn't started to walk yet, which is completely fine with us because once he starts....well, you know...the "fun" never stops! He has, however, started to "crawl" with his butt in the air. Very funny to watch!

At Joey's one year check up, we found out that he is only 19 pounds (8.7kg). On the growth chart here he is in the 10th percentile for his weight, but he doesn't even make it onto the US chart (<3rd percentile). Definitely a light weight. He is, however, just over average (52nd percentile) when it comes to his length.

Hi Joey - don't worry about your strange crawl! My brother crawled like that and never did crawl the 'normal' way - he moved right to walking really fast :) Can't wait to see your crawl in a few weeks!

We see that same crawl quite a lot in our house too. Josiah has discovered that he can save on his knees if he walks on all fours. These little ones are smart!

We do that kind of crawl in our Sunday School class for relays. The kids call it the bear crawl. At least it's easy on the knees.
