Crawling

Troy is officially crawling now. He started out doing a one-legged scoot across the floor. Where one leg is down with his knee in the floor, and the other is up so he can push with the bottom of his foot. I call it his propulsion foot. It ends up being this half crawl, half walk kind of motion, and he was actually pretty effective with it. 

But today, while I was sitting with him on the bed, he did an official two-knees-down crawl across the bed to me. Just to make sure it wasn’t a fluke, I went to the other side of the bed, and sure enough he crawled over to me again. I took him in the den and put him on the floor, and within seconds, he was crawling everywhere. I have waited so long for this milestone, that I didn’t really think of the future ramifications. With his natural mischievous streak, this could go south pretty quickly.
