Babies be moving?

[jillywilly]

Has this been discussed? I can't get over how many babies in HDBD seem to be on the move, so I thought it'd be fun to do a poll to see where different babies are at. I also wanted to see if I could make a clicky poll.

If this has been covered before, feel free to ignore me

[jillywilly]

For the record, DS is a "kind of." He can scoot backwards a little when he's on his belly or butt, better when he's on a wood floor. He's not really pushing himself into the crawling position yet, so I think "real" crawling is still a ways off for us.

DD is a scooter. She gets into crawl position but can't move her legs. She kind of push up scoots, so it's all her arms doing the work and it's to the side or backwards lol. Poor thing! She love love loves walking around holding our hands though. Interesting that she'll pick up her legs and move forward standing but not in crawl position.

DD is crawling confidently on her hands and knees for a couple weeks now after army crawling for a few weeks before that.

She can also pull herself standing and walk around furniture. If she pulls herself standing holding my hands she wants to walk around.

I am seriously in trouble with her.

ETA-she was 7 months old last week. I just had friends over who when they found out got her 6th tooth before Christmas also, commented 'I think she forgot how old she is!' Lol.

We aren't even close to being mobile! J just started rolling over actually in this last week or so... we're super behind and in OT...

jillywilly define moving.

Add my LO to the list of babies doing 360's, rolling around, and a little bit of army crawling. Just not on his knees crawling.

If baby were placed in the middle of the room, in five minutes, would they still be in the exact same spot? If probably no, then I'll count that as moving.

[beersandweirs]

Baby is crawling, pulling herself up and moving herself around while holding on to furniture, like tiffbot baby. But she only has 2 teeth, not SIX!

She turned 7 months on Sunday

DD is very efficiently army crawling, but hasn't figured out it would be easier if she got her belly off the floor. She also pulls up really fast now.

She clearly has my patience, which is none at all, because homegirl was SO PISSED when she couldn't get to shit, that she just started kind of willing herself towards it. Our neighbor's kid is a few months older and is so chill, she's just like fuck it, someone will give me that if I whine, so she doesn't even try to crawl.

Babies are weird.

I feel like my kid is like your neighbor's kid - he's not super motivated on the getting to other places because he knows eventually a toy he wants will come to him, and in the meantime he just can't be too bothered a lot of times to even attempt.

I said yes because he can roll like a boss and refuses to stay in one place. This one is hell on wheels and I have zero desire for him to master the other methods.

[musicfrk2002]

J moves around in his crib, mostly by rolling from belly to side it seems. When he rolls, he pushes up on both hands, then leans to the side and eventually falls. So when he rolls over, his head usually ends up 45 degrees from where he started, but his feet are in the same spot.

No crawling whatsoever. He "swims" right now, but that's it. He's been on hands and knees 2 or 3 times, and that was just because he tucked his knees under as I was setting him down on his stomach.

[erbear]

LO rolls and scoots herself all over the place and just started getting up on her hands and knees and hands and feet. She also just pulled herself up to standing on me about a half hour ago, sob.

[gigi3126]

I can't vote because I'm on Tapatalk, but Jude has been crawling pretty confidently for a couple of weeks. He also just started "bear crawling". That is, he's no longer on his knees, but half standing on his feet. It's so strange. I'll try and get a video to show y'all.

Eta he's 6 1/2 months old

[ashbash]

360 scooting, inching forward and backward, pushing onto hand and knees and planking but no real crawling.

[mrsmonogrammed]

We're army crawling and rolling all over the place. She likes to play hide n seek with mama;) *poof* I literally walked 10 steps away to get a water bottle and came back to this. Lol!

[mirage86]

E isn't anywhere close to crawling, but he rolls all over the place. I don't think he will try standing for a while yet. Every time I put him on his feet he leans forward like he is trying to get back onto the ground instead of standing up straight.

Hooray, I'm a SS! M is moving but not in the traditional sense. She does 360's right now to get what she wants, plus rolling all over the place. No crawling just yet though.

This exactly!

Yup.  Mine also only goes to the side or backward.  Everytime I turn around he's whining because he got stuck under the couch, a chair, a table, or the bed.

[paintdadanta]

DS started crawling and pulling up to standing right before 6mo. It makes getting ready in the morning interesting as the bed pillow barricades no longer work.

[belle0720]

billyhorrible LO totally gets stuck under our living room chairs. She doesn't get what's going on though LOL poor thing!

[iowamama615]

360's are A's main way of moving... he's also really good at wiggling himself around, to the point where I don't know how he gets the places he does. His favorite is getting his back end stuck under the couch right now.

[Deleted]

This poll confused me. She has been moving/rolling and spinning around for a while now. She also scoots but on her back. If the poll means is she crawling. Then no she is not crawling.

[Deleted]

Also, I have a terrifying feeling that P might skip crawling and go right to walking. He pulls himself up on everything he can and has started cruising the sofa a little bit.

[purple]

She doesn't roll all the way over and she won't try to crawl - still screams for the whole of tummy time, which is why she still gets regular tummy time (yes, she has a mean mummy). She pulls herself up on her walker and then sways until she falls over. She rolls off the changing table given half a chance. She also rotates and can get a surprisingly long way doing that. I have no idea how.

Her main obsession is walking. We go to several clubs and the other babies sit on their caregivers' laps or on the floor. The older ones crawl. Since she was four moths old, L's main goal has been to slide off mummy's lap and stand on the floor. Once she's achieved that she starts walking. I let her walk holding my fingers because she would try to walk anyway, and fall over.

When she's happy she does an on-the-spot dance that mainly consists of hurling herself from one foot to the other. She also behaves like a human pogo stick.

TL;DR: She can't crawl but she won't stop moving.

On mobile so I can't vote. O only rolls side to side. No front to back or back to front. He's done it a couple times. He likes to stay still. He doesn't move in his crib at night.

So, my baby is a lump. He can sit I'd put into the position. He loves jumping in his Jumperoo and has been trying to stand since birth.

[periwinkledaydreams]

I just went through and clicked like on a whole lot of things that sound like my kid. She can't crawl at all but she never stays still. Lots of spinning in circles and rolling, more front to back than the opposite, although she will do that if she needs/wants to. She also can't sit yet, because she's busy and nosey lol.. once you sit her down she just turns herself around to look behind her and thats over with. It's looking like we might skip crawl and go for stand, although she doesn't pull herself up yet, she's much more interested in maintaining a standing position than sitting, and can do so for multiple minutes if you place her that way.

Tl;dr Very busy but also lazy at the same time.

[Flick]

M isn't crawling quite yet but she gets on all fours and rocks back and forth. She also does a planking position too. Along with rolling everywhere and spinning on her belly.

Lump #2 over here! Can sit or stand (mostly) if put that on way, but can't do anything on his own! In PT due to head shape and working on rolling as well as leaning forward into crawling position.

Lump #3 over here. He's sitting much better in his own, and sometimes manages to go from a sitting position into his belly ( usually he'll still just face plant) to reach a toy. He rolls only to his left and can go back and forth this way, but usually screams bc he hates staying on his belly. So nowhere near going on all fours or crawling.

To make myself feel better, he has conversations with the cat. This is what it sounds like: "cat: meow; M: eh?; cat: meow, M: eh?" for about 3-4 conversational turns lol.

He's getting PT once a week for his torticollis and strengthening/positioning help.
