On the move?

[crimsonandclover]

Anyone's LOs moving yet?

I feel like DD3 is getting very frustrated with her immobility. She's getting better at rolling, but I still don't think it's really intentional. She'll be fairly content on her tummy and then roll to her back and get mad or vice-versa. She's also not sitting yet, and I think she's getting frustrated about that, too. She wants to be off her back!!

Mine has been on the go since early July. She's an inchworm with a mission. No straight up crawling, but she pulls herself wherever she needs to go. She can sit if I put her in that position, but can't get there alone. Dd1 and Dh think it's great to stand her at the window sill of coffee table. I'm less impressed. I do not need her walking anytime soon.

DD can roll wherever she wants to go. When she is on her belly she will kick and move her knees to try to get some forward motion but hasn't been successful. Then she gets mad!! 😉

Right? I told DD3 she was absolutely not allowed to learn how to crawl until Aug 22 when we came back from the US so we didn't have to deal with a mobile baby in the plane (done that before, never again tyvm). DDs 1+2 were both late crawlers, so I figured we had a good chance.
I'm in no hurry for her to move, but I am now ready for her to be less frustrated and I think learning to crawl will do the trick!

I keep thinking dd2 will bust out with an army crawl any day now, but I've been thinking that for a few weeks. She pivots and rolls, and somewhat pushes herself along, but doesn't get too far yet.

She can stand up well on her own if you put her somewhere she can hold onto. She gives halfhearted attempts to pull herself up once in a while. I'm not trying to push her to stand or walk, but I think it will be fun for her and dd1 when they are both able to chase each other around.

She's been sitting up well for about two months now, but doesn't seem anywhere close to getting into that position on her own. Does that usually come before or after crawling?

Dd1 has gross motor skills delay, so all of this mobile baby stuff is new to me!

We've been sitting unassisted since about 6ish months. She started moving around the beginning of July but was never seen crawling. By the end of July she was crawling full out. She doesn't roll much but is into everything. She pulls herself to standing all the time sometimes gets stuck standing and can't figure how to get down.
But still no words.

L sits up pretty well now, and can get up to sitting on her own. She isn't crawling because she can't seem to figure out how to transfer her front end weight. Hind end she definitely knows what to do with though. Sometimes she gets annoyed and just kind of stands up behind which is way too close to actually being fully mobile for my taste.

Army crawling, pulling to stand, and can go from laying to sitting to standing back to sitting. I'm not ready for this!

[sjames2015]

Found the video. The first video caught of her crawling was August 3rd. So sometime towards the beginning of the month she was crawling.

Um...Nope! To all of this! So not ready for a mobile baby. Hair pats to you!

In a span of one month DD has Lear Ed to sit unassisted, crawl and bear crawl. She also is pulling herself up on a lot of things a d can stand with assistance. Taking monthly photos is getter to be more and more challenging

He can sit unassisted, but he cannot go from lying down to sitting on his own.

He does move around, but I don't think any of it's intentional. It's sort of a sliding/rolling/inchworm type movement

I don't need him to crawl/walk anything anytime soon. I'm not ready for mobile baby.

M has been crawling since right after they got back from their trip (so around July 20-something), and since then she has started pulling up to stand and cruising on furniture. I'm guessing she'll be walking by Halloween. S was like this too, except he mostly skipped crawling. But once he figured out one way to move they all sort of snowballed from there, and he walked by himself the day after he turned 9 months. I'm kind of glad that M seems to be taking slightly longer to walk.

My love chunk just rolls around on the floor. We are nowhere near pulling up/crawling/walking. I think she's just too massive She can sit up if we plunk her down like that, but cannot sit up on her own. We are in no rush!! DS didn't start walking until 13 months - and that was just fine with us - we would love a similar timeline. Once they start walking - there's no rest for the weary!

[lucanjo14]

DD just started with the army crawl last week. She is all over the place now and rolls a lot too. But she cannot sit up unassisted at all.

[icequeen]

DS is sitting up unassisted and rolling over every way. He can push up very well with his arms and is now getting up on his knees too. He does this rocking motion on all fours as if he wants to propel forward but he is a little stuck. Army crawling a lot though. If I stand him up on his legs and place his hands on a firm surface he will stand there. He does get frustrated with not being able to move more efficiently!

Nolan rolls everywhere and tries to crawl. He get up on his knees and rocks but only scoots backwards

Gracie can crawl forward a little bit not a ton. Scoots backwards too.

Nat has not shown any desire to crawl at all but does roll a bit.

[tinydancer]

My guy sits unassisted, rolls all around, and has a very efficient army crawl. He gets up onto his hands and knees and has learned to move his knees a couple times but the movement is still awkward for him and he ends up on his tummy. He has learned to get himself from tummy to sitting by getting up onto hands and knees and then pushing back to his butt. He will also push up into a downward dog type position. He will pull himself up to stand using me (usually my shirt ), but nothing else yet, and if I lean him against the coffee table he will stand there. He will also take a few steps forward if he's leaning against a table or if I'm holding onto his hands.

[dizzycooks]

I'm just going to add, in case anyone feels their child is "behind", my first two didn't crawl or scoot at all until 11-12 months. They didn't walk until 16 months. I am totally unprepared for an early mover.

[crimsonandclover]

dizzycooks, you're absolutely right. I should have mentioned it in the original post. DD1 didn't roll intentionally until she was over 9 months old. When she was 11.5 months she was walking - I think she spent all of 2 weeks crawling. There is a big range of "normal" for becoming mobile, and we're definitely not at the point where we have to worry yet!

[Lsquared]

My DD didn't walk until 17mo!

[nikiswimr]

E is still all backwards motion, turning/rolling. She can get from sitting to belly. She pulls up to a stand as well like at her activity table, but is super unstable and takes steps into nowhere
