the evolution of the crawl

before claire i never really stopped to think about many developmental milestones. of course generally babies roll over before they sit up and things like that. but i never thought there would be differences in crawling. i figured crawling meant crawling. hands and knees simple. but to then find out some babies skip crawling and just start walking? what?!?

and then of course theres claire. she started out doing the army crawl/scoot.

and then moved up to regular crawling.

and now she "crawls" on her hands and feet. with her lil butt up in the air. (maybe developing some more muscles before standing on her own?!? who knows.)

but its pretty cute. she can do any and all of these different crawls these days trying to get from point a to point b. too bad we arent sure how to teach her that if she just did one she could become a lot faster. but then again, do we really want her to be faster?! i dunno.
