Guest guest Posted November 2, 1999 Report Share Posted November 2, 1999 I'm not an expert on babies, though I love them, but in my child/adolescent psych class last semester it *was* mentioned that a few babies -- average ones, obviously -- choose to roll. Evan's rolling may not be connected to his dwarfism at all, though as a total non-expert hearing about the subject on the list, I'm guessing it is. I bet it's real cute to watch, though, whatever the reason. :-) -- Rolling Around >From: " Livermore " <Evan217@...> > >Hi Everyone, > > Going on the help with crawling issue, I was so happy yesterday cause I >had laid my son Evan on the living room floor on a blanket with his toys and >I went into to the kitchen.

Guest guest Posted November 3, 1999 Report Share Posted November 3, 1999 That's what did, he is 4 now and has been walking almost 2 years, but he can still roll faster then he can walk. And when he learnt how to roll he had an O2 tubing connect to him. So he learned how to roll with out getting tangled up.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 1999 Report Share Posted November 4, 1999 Dear , My oldest daughter did the " rolling thing " too! She got everywhere she needed to using this technique! I expected that my younger daughter would do the same thing...but she actually opted for the sealwalk technique! I don't know if there is any relastionship to the crawling techinque (gut reaction -- there is no relastionship) ....but my oldest began walking at about 18 months...my youngest at about 14/15 months.
