Crawling

With twins you compare every little thing they do and have to constantly remind yourself, everyone is different and each baby will learn some things in different ways at different times.

The most recent example for us is crawling.

Ever since she started sitting up on her own Chloe started trying to crawl. Now she uses her graceful leg flipping sit up trick to help her change directions when she crawls. We’ve had to block all the plugs, move cords out of the way, and follow her around if we let her crawl about freely.

 

Connor’s approach is a little different. I think he recognizes he could be more mobile since he sees Chloe moving all over the place, but he has his own form. He doesn’t crawl with both arms out and his little legs up under him. Instead he kind of drags himself with one arm. Sometimes he uses the other arm to drag a toy he happened upon along with him. It’s a little humorous to watch and even more amusing because of his little white helmet that makes him look like a little baby wounded soldier dragging himself along. This method seems to work for him and he’s content with it.
