CRAWL!!

Athan crawled! :) Not far. And not often! But for the first time ever, he was up on all 4s, and then made a bit of forward progress by moving his right hand and left knee, then left hand and right knee... Then he got tired and returned to scooting. Yeah!

As far as mobility, I will be fine if Athan skips the crawling as a whole "stage" and goes straight from scooting to walking. But as far as his cognitive development, muscle strength, and general skill level, it would be great if he would go ahead and learn to crawl. It is helping him develop his arm, shoulder, and neck strength already.

His crawling attempts are brief and rare, but I'll see what I can do about a video soon...
