Crawling

So was doing a little bit if internet surfing today on when babies are suppose start rolling over and crawling and all that fun stuff and realized that Cameron is such a fast learner! I learned that most babies develop head control around 3 -4 months, Cam has had that down for a while and will be 3 months on Aug 16th! Next is rolling over which he should have completely mastered after 4 months, he hasn't gotten it mastered yet but is really close! He can get onto his side but the he will get stuck, feet waving in the air and everything, most of the time he will yell for help when this happens.

Then the actual crawling isn't suppose to happen until about 7-10 months (depends on the baby and the amount of time they get in practice). There are different types of crawling: 1. On arms and knees, the most common 2. Hands and feet, like bear crawling. 3. The army crawl, Cameron kinda does this one when he gets really excited. and finally 4. The Butt Shuffle, this one Cameron does all the time! Its where the baby scoots its self using only the legs and booty :)

There are also different techniques and exercises you can practice with babies that help them learn how to crawl. One of the biggest problems parents say they have is getting the baby comfortable lying on his tummy, but Cameron loves being on his tummy, he prefers it to his back actually, we don't let him sleep on his tummy but when hes awake and playing hes usually on the floor just kicking away. There are also toys and stuff you can buy that help babies learn which are pretty neat looking but I think Cameron is on a fast past to learning everything on his own! :)

Can't wait for my Facebook status to say "Cameron just crawled across the room for the first time!" hopefully I can get a video camera before then!
