She is pulling up these days, and I think she's probably just going to skip real crawling. She is plenty good at getting up on her hands and knees, so we'll see what happens, but she just really seems to enjoy dragging herself along on her belly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-crawling-1#post-510270 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 14:34:37 +0000 tequiero21 510270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Girl crawled at around 6 months. Boy crawled at 9 months. Both never really army crawled. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-crawling-1#post-510257 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 14:32:07 +0000 keiki_mama 510257@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO started army crawling at 5 months and off the belly crawling at 7 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-crawling-1#post-510145 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 13:35:17 +0000 cvbee 510145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Army crawling IS real crawling. </p> <p>I just went to a workshop yesterday and the physiotherapist said all kinds of crawling will develop the arm strength they need, so not to be worried if LO takes to the army crawl. She did say that 'skipping' crawling or 'bum shuffling' does not give them the arm/wrist development and studies show that many of those kids go on to have fine motor issues, such as trouble writing with a pencil. </p> <p>For the record, my LO crawled at just under 8 months. But he also didn't roll til after then!!! (He only learned to roll at 8 months after we did exercises the therapist taught us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-crawling-1#post-510129 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 13:31:46 +0000 Weagle 510129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 8 months and still no crawling. She just rolls everywhere. She does pull up though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-crawling-1#post-509781 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 11:41:05 +0000 meredithNYC 509781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 7.5 months and she does a lot of army crawling, but no real crawling yet. She's SO close, so my guess is that by 8 months she will be up and crawling. If she does, that would be great since her grandparents will be visiting from England and they can see the impressive milestone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-crawling-1#post-509761 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 11:32:58 +0000 littlek 509761@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FutureMrsMcK: isn't the backwards thing hilarious? I'm like, where are you going? I can tell our dogs, especially our chihuahua is terrified that he is no longer stationary. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-crawling-1#post-509758 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 11:31:28 +0000 lovehoneybee 509758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine's 5.5 months and isn't crawling yet, but he gets up on all fours and rocks, then gets up on his hands and feets and thrusts himself forward. And he army crawls backwards. And planks a lot. He's funny. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-crawling-1#post-509756 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 11:31:05 +0000 littlek 509756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: That is exciting!!!</p> <p>@duckduckkristen: Yay!!! Another crawler!</p> <p>Brennan has decided he wants to roll everywhere. He also does this weird thing where he scoots backwards on his back. His favorite thing though is to pull up on me and then jump. He's silly </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-crawling-1#post-509715 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 11:06:37 +0000 loveisstrange 509715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sitting at 5 months,<br /> rolling at 6 months,<br /> army crawling/all fours the day after she turned 8 months<br /> real crawling about 3 weeks later, just before 9 months<br /> pulling up a couple days later, right at 9 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-crawling-1#post-509709 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 11:03:38 +0000 duckduckkristen 509709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just started crawling today at 8.5 months. He had only been army crawling for a week or two, but started getting up on all fours and rocking about a month ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-crawling-1#post-509694 Thu, 17 Jan 2013 10:55:53 +0000 winniebee 509694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Update - he started crawling just before 8 months. Not well, but he's doing it. He started rocking on all fours about 4 weeks prior. He can pull up (not well) and can stand well if leaning on something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-crawling-1#post-454200 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 17:19:31 +0000 mrsjazz 454200@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think LO may skip real crawling completely. She was doing army crawling for a long time (she turned 8 months yesterday) and was doing the backwards crawl--but now she just stands and is taking steps with assistance. She also sort of bunny hops (while sitting on her knees she bounces around). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-crawling-1#post-454180 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 17:12:42 +0000 sarac 454180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter was a super late crawler - didn't fully switch from army crawling to real crawling until 12 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-crawling-1#post-453736 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 13:54:41 +0000 Springtime 453736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He army crawled at 6 months.

He much prefers standing up to tummy time though.<br /> No clue if/when he will crawl. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-crawling-1#post-453531 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 12:10:00 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 453531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: Ha!

He never army crawled. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-crawling-1#post-453461 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 11:50:36 +0000 HLK208 453461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS was exactly six months. DD at six months can army crawl and spins, rolls to get where she wants to be but probably still has awhile to go until real crawling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-crawling-1#post-453458 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 11:49:51 +0000 winniebee 453458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO started sitting well at 6 months (at 5 months started sitting but not well) and started scooting, doing downward dog and spinning in circles for the last week or so. He's 7 months, hasn't started real crawling yet. I think he's still a few weeks away from that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-crawling-1#post-453440 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 11:45:56 +0000 littleveesmommy 453440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD army crawled for 3 months before attempting to crawl! We thought she would just skip regular crawling. She still defaults to army crawl sometimes and she's 10.5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-crawling-1#post-453435 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 11:44:34 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 453435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: I think babies born with the name W are destined to be little firecrackers!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-start-crawling-1#post-453349 Tue, 18 Dec 2012 11:21:02 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 453349@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: Dang!!
