Crawling and Food ideas! Let me have them!!!

[mbear]

will watch this thread eagerly for crawling tips!!!

.......me too pregpan, and Jordie...... - my sam isnt crawling yet either and doesnt even look like she is.
I think ive said before, my girls didnt crawl until 12 and 13 months respectively, and even then it was only for 4 short weeks then they started walking.

I bought one of those blow up cylinder things that encourages baby to crawl - sam just sits there and sucks it !

Oh, and Jordie, my DD has no teeth yet. Between them they are a great pair eh ???

Good luck.....

ha ha MBear Noah does the same thing with the blow up thing.... and if it rolls away from him he just yells for me to bring it back...

Pregpan and MBear - so funny!! they are so similar - makes me feel better! If we put something in front of Mackenzie she just yells for it too!! She does have teeth tthough - 5 of them but doesn't use them! I like the rock melon idea. Thanks girls!!

well girls - this afternoon N and I spent about 90 mins together on the floor - i rarely have time for that... anyway i was putting down tempting things for him - my mobile, remote controls etc to get to and he did make quite a bit of progress... kind of shuffling along to things.... it is like he has worked out there is aprob but doesnt know what to do about it - oh yes he does know wha to do about it - yell for MUM!!!
here is a funny story about the situation. at fdc the other day he was having some vegemite toast - sitting on the ground with it on a plate. another baby about 2 weeks older than him crawled over, took the toast and crawled off. app N lost the plot totally crying and pointing to the toast on the other side of the room....now there is an incentive to MOVE BABY!!

- ha, ha, maybe we could borrow a few LOL !!!!!!

and if it rolls away from him he just yells for me to bring it back...

...oh gosh, they are funny creatures arent they. I burst out laughing when reading this...

Pregpan i know its hard finding time, but i reckon if you did what you did today with N for 10-15 mins a day he would be crawling in a week. Listen to me - as if do it !!! I should though, youve given me some inspiration, i think i might start tomorrow....

[MamaPan]

Yep i know MBear - I do it each day, after work... and more on weekends and my day off... i am seeing progress, today was real progress... let's all do that for 30 mins a day and see where we get to...
btw my gf who is a dr told me crawling is 1 milestone that has NO link to intelligence...

well ladies an update from me... N seems to be commando crawling!!! he isnt going all over the room or anyting but will go to a toy (or more likely a remote control LOL) on his front (still prefers rolling i think). he is getting faster and now only wants to be on the ground... i think we are close!
how are Sam and Mackenzie going??
