DS is enjoying moving around now. For a little while he has spun himself around on his back and scooted off head-first until he comes up against an obstacle. However, he doesn't like being on his back, he likes standing. Last night he decided to take a few steps... backwards. He was walking backwards (with me supporting his arms) for about 20 steps. Is this normal? Should I be trying to encourage forward walking? I did try turning him around so he was facing the opposite direction, but he just went backwards again, back to the starting point.

He also bum-shuffles backwards, but doesn't do that too much as the movement topples him over.
