Crawling

Noah has been working very hard on his crawling. He started out with a funny inchworm crawl, quickly transitioned to a fast army crawl, and has now transitioned to a traditional crawl. He loves his new sense of freedom and takes advantage of all the rooms in our condo. In this first video, notice how Noah closes the child gate while leaving his nursery. He does that EVERY time we go in and out. He cannot stand to have the gate open.

This video is a bit shaky, but notice Mr. Man's huge smile as he gets what he wants.

Noah is not interested in walking at all. He continues to cruise around along furniture and speed by on his walker, but refuses to take any steps alone.

I know that when Noah is ready, he will take the risk. I know that it is OK that he is not walking yet. I know that Noah's lack of risk-taking will be a good thing in the future. I know all of this, but I cannot help my fear of having a ten year-old little boy who still crawls. I know, I know. All things come to those who wait.
