He's in the army now

Not one to be left behind, Colin has decided to join the crawling revolution in our house. But of course, being Colin, he has to take his own approach: He has discovered the army crawl.

How Colin crawls right now, minus the gun, of course.

I first noticed him doing it earlier this week: he gets on his stomach and pulls himself along using his forearms. It looks kind of funny, but it works. 

And he’s getting better at it every day, thanks to a lot of practice. John said he was crawling a lot today. Which is good, because that will help build his upper body strength — something he needs if he’s ever going to sit on his own.

Keeping the rivalry alive, Veronica is getting serious about crawling on all fours. She has several times in the past two days actually gotten on her hands and knees and moved herself forward. (Of course, it’s not nearly as fast as bouncing across the floor or going backward, but there’s no challenge left in that.)
