What Does Tummy Crawling Look Like?



Here's what the tummy crawling looks like. We put a bribe at the end of the mat and tell her to crawl on her tummy to get it. If you'd have told me that she would cooperate with this a couple of weeks ago, I wouldn't have believed it. There isn't anything else I can tell her to do that she'll cooperate with every time. When I tell her to get down on her tummy, she hits the floor like she's in boot camp. My husband, who was sceptical of her need for this, is amazed at her level of cooperation. She seems to be willing to get closer emotionally to her sisters. She worships her 11 year old sister, and will do anything with her. She wanted her oldest sister to give her her bottle yesterday. I let her do it because this is the first time she requested her. She may have been doing this to reject me, which she did when she reached for her sister, but she was just having fun with her, so I think she just didn't want to leave her. Just in case she did it to be away from me, I will make sure I feed her if it happens again.
