Ryan is exactly nine and a half months old today. And he is finally moving. Until this week he has been perfectly content with sitting or laying in one spot. He would make a few half-hearted attempts at spinning around or reaching for something, but that would be it.
He still isn’t crawling though. Instead, he gets his arms folded up and under his chest and kind of scooches/wriggles/drags himself across the room. It’s hysterical to watch. At first, the progress was so slow that I didn’t believe my eyes until I put a toy exactly three feet (yes, I even measured!) away from him, and then sat back to watch him move.
In stark contrast, Alyssa, my thirty month old, was cruising by nine months and walking unassisted by nine and a half months.
Yet Ryan is much more verbal, whereas Alyssa didn’t really start to talk until last winter.
It’s funny how different two children can be!
