crawling

No, he isn't crawling yet, however I have discovered that he can actually do it - I think he just doesn't want to. Last week - after a looonnng day of him wanting to be held all day long - I finally just laid him down on the floor and sat on the couch and let him cry. After a couple minutes he got himself worked up enough that he started scooting to me. Not sure that it would actually qualify as an army crawl, but he made it several feet to the couch.

Then today - we were kind of at that same point - so I put him down on the floor again and twice he pushed himself up onto his hands and knees!
Again, this only happens after several minutes of crying - and he cries through the whole thing - but it's definitely progress.
So now I know he does have the strength and understanding to do it - he's just STUBBORN. He gets that from his Daddy! ;)
