Yep, our son has already master this position. |
For
over two months now our son has expressed his desire to walk. As soon as we get
him up and on his feet he starts taking steps. It really doesn’t matter where
he is whether it be on the couch, the floor, or on a table in Cabela’s, he is
always trying to get those darn legs to work. Sometimes he actually gets a
little frustrated when things don’t go according to plan or if he is too tired
and his legs don’t want to cooperate.
However,
over the past couple of months he has gotten better. He is almost ready to
support himself as there have been a number of occasions when I am barely
supporting him as he stands there. Heck, he is even getting pretty good at
doing squats. This kid is almost ready for boot camp (I am pretty sure he could achieve the minimum score on the ASVAB) if he could just make some more progress with
his crawling.
While
most kids are starting to explore the motions involved with crawling, our son
wants nothing to do with them. He would much rather be on his back doing
flutter kicks than on his belly shuffling across the floor. It is actually quite
entertaining to watch and explains why he already has a baby six pack (note
that this turns into a keg by the end of every meal… actually it is more like
he wakes up with the six pack and goes to bed with a keg).
After
a few minutes of kicking on his back he usually ends up pulling his feet toward
his face with toes firmly in his grasp. You know what that means. That’s right,
this is prime baby boom position and the rapid fire rocking usually produces a
mighty breeze. With the kraken now released, the kicking resumes. At this point
all you can do is try to keep yourself from falling off over in laughter.
It
has actually taken some considerable effort to get him to be even remotely interested
in the act of crawling and he is now finally getting comfortable on his
stomach. This is a whole different round of entertainment these days as he
pushes up with his arms and sticks his butt in the air but can’t seem to get
his legs going at the same time. Maybe the joke is on us and he is actually
practicing doing the worn. I guess we will have to find out.
