37 weeks old

Doesn't he look so happy in this picture!!! He is such a little ham sometimes.
We have decided Bryce has been crawling for a few weeks now...Crawling is defined as any form of prone progression, any way of moving in which the tummy is toward the floor. In fact, in one of her many studies on crawling babies, Karen Adolph, PhD, associate professor of psychology at New York University, observed 25 unique combinations of body parts used to propel a baby forward. Bryce usually does the commando crawl where he pulls himself forward with his arms, the inchworm, or he sometimes does like a one leg type crawl. However, most recently he has resorted to bottom scooting and this has become his preferred method of moving around. He looks just like a little monkey scooting on his bottom across the floor and pushing himself with his arms as he goes-you would be amazed at how quickly he gets around in this way! It is funny to watch-neither of our other kids did this. We think he is kind of adapting to the hardwood floors which make it harder to crawl on than carpet cause they are slick and you can't get very good traction. Plus he has always preferred to be sitting or standing rather than laying so that is another reason we think he does the scoot. Anyhow he is now fully mobile and we have to constantly be on guard because he is into everything.
