A couple of weeks back, my kid started her military crawl...she doesn't yet crawl on all fours yet...she uses her arms to pull herself forward. I guess yesterday's topic on her strength can be attributed to the fact that has been pulling her whole body weight throughout the house for these weeks now, thereby strengthening her arms.
Towards the middle of last week, she started positioning herself on one hand to raise herself up and to look backwards (I know, it sounds like a yoga posture, but I am at loss how to explain it better!). It was almost a sitting position.
A couple of day later, she learned how to use legs of her parents to pull herself to a kneeling position...and yes, proper kneeling! This led to more and more experiments which objects in the house can support her weight for her to pull herself up! Now, since the past two days, she has managed to push herself (or rather position herself) in such a manner that she ends up sitting. And she loves doing it...it gives her a sense of accomplishment....a feeling that she can do stuff that we can do, too.
The next phase in the sage has already started. She is trying to position herself on her hands and knees now...once this has stabilised, I suppose she will adopt this new and improved style of crawling, which will give her better speeds and manoeuvrability! Toddlers....you can keep watching them and find them doing something new all the time...it never gets boring. :)
