Moving and Shaking

This is not a brag post. This is an I-Don't-Know-What-To-Do-With-This post. Emmeline, as we all remember, never crawled. I mean, I guess she did a bit around 18 months, long after she was walking. James, on the other hand, has been a bit more...shall we say, advanced in the physical arena. He's been rolling both from belly to back and back to belly for a while. Monday, he began scooting across the floor on his back. He will have a nasty bald spot on the back of his head. Today, he got his knees up under him and scooched forward. It was not a crawl, but it wasn't far from it. He did it three times this morning, and a few times yesterday. He will be 4 months next week. I could be wrong, but I'll put money on this guy crawling before 5 months. This is amazing to me. I never experienced this with Em, so it's all new. She did combat crawl a bit for a little while, but she hated it, and it never progressed. I am continually surprised by Jamie's physical strength and interest in moving. It is awesome!
