It's been a week of movement milestones for Lucas. Last Friday (I know, bad mommy with the late post) he crawled for the first time. That morning, he was doing the modified propeller-leg crawl: with one leg he used his knee on the floor to crawl and maintain balance, with the other leg he put his foot on the floor to propel. But by Saturday he could just crawl (regularly), and now he's all over the place. Especially if he is in sight of Sammy's bowls. What is it about dog bowls that so fascinates babies?
However, he is an ambitious soul, and was not satisfied with this pace. He continues to try very hard to learn to stand and walk. If we stand him up around a low surface (like the coffee table), he can stand there forever, and can even move around it some. If he give him our fingers, he'll walk (at an impressively brisk pace) around the room, although he is still adorably wobbly. Last night (Thursday) he pulled himself up to his feet, using the coffee table, for the first time. This morning, he "cruised" from his play cube to the table for the first time. First steps! (as a cruiser). Won't be long now before his real first steps, with no hands! I give it another month, I think he will be walking by himself in March. He is very motivated.
