Naptime Blog

If you’ve been keeping up with my blogs, you’ll know that my son is so lazy and hasn’t exactly mastered crawling. He still prefers to roll but does go backwards quite nicely and army crawls, using mostly his right leg, forward. He definitely has no interest in pulling himself up to stand. He took about 4-5 really good official crawl steps forward the other day and I thought he would continue. Ha! I stand him up a little and he bends his knees so that he can go right back to the floor. One time I stood him against the couch with my laptop on the cushion and he stayed like that for a solid 30 seconds! I was so excited, I took a picture with my phone and texted it to my husband.

Besides that one time that I successfully documented, it hasn’t happened again. We went to the birthday party of one of my friends, and her daughter, who turned one, was walking around like nothing. She was coordinated and all. I’m hoping seeing other babies his age doing things will click in his head that he is capable of doing them as well. The next day, he mastered his sippy cup. He never drank from it before. I’d give him juice and he wouldn’t understand the concept of sucking just like a bottle. I could only put juice or water in a water bottle and pour it into his awaiting open mouth. I am so happy that he drinks from his cup now. I know babies develop at their own time but c’mon Shaughn! Any others with lazy kids? How long did it take for your child to crawl and walk?
