Latest In Gross Motor Development


Evelyn is scooting, leaping and crawling everywhere. She is quite busy. She also hikes her butt up into a traingle. Here she is on Daddy. She will definitely be zooming around the room in a full crawl by Christmas. Evelyn is still far more interested in crawling than she is sitting.
Sylvia is yanking on the activity mat showing off her expert sitting abilities. She is doing a great job moving around in a circle while on her belly. She doesn't move forward or back, but uses her arms to move within 360 degrees. We think Sylvia will pull herself to standing before she'll crawl. She's very skilled at standing and now responds to "Sylvia Up?" by putting her hands in the air and pushing herself up to standing when I hold onto her hands. She holds herself up there for several minutes and then understands "Sylvia Sit", and bends her knees and plops back down. She could do this for hours.
So cute, very cute.
