crawling with his legs straight

[Guest guest]

Okay, this is really weird! LOL Christian crawls now with his hands on the

floor but his legs are straight (as if he were walking)! Is anyone's child

doing strange things like this? LOL)!

Is it like an army man crawl? If so this is how my oldest son (non-

clubfoot) always crawled. He never crawled with his knees bent.

The army man crawl is when they are just using their arms and dragging

themselves right? Christian has his legs position vertical to the floor and

he is bent over with his hands on the floor...LOL. It is so hard to

explain. I have to get a picture of this today. It's worth the laugh!

I think this is called a " simian crawl " . My daughter (clubfoot) did it as

well. They say that it is a precursor to walking....or at least that what I

have read in child development books. My daughter started walking 3 weeks ago,

and she still " crawls " like this sometimes. I think she likes to mess with

different perspectives.

Audrey did this too...it seemed to emerge after she had been crawling for a

while but before she started walking. We thought it was her introduction

to walking and getting the feel for what that would be like.
