Ty is on the move! He's not "technically" crawling (because his belly is still dragging on the floor), but he gets around pretty well doing what I call the army crawl. He uses his arms to scoot/drag his body around on the floor. Along with rolling and spinning, this technique gets him pretty much anywhere he needs to go. :-)
Step 1: Get on the floor on your tummy and tuck your elbows in
Step 2: Pull forward using just your arms and let your body drag behind
Two things have motivated Ty to perform the "army crawl". First, this train (shown in picture). The train moves and Ty will follow it. It has a blinking green light on the front that he likes and it also sings. Secondly is the vacuum- Ty will go after it whenever I stop using it. He keeps an eye on it while I have it running and as soon as I put it upright, he comes crawling. It also has a light on the front near the bottom(right at his eye level), so maybe he likes the lights. He tries to get on top of it, hitting the light. He will be all over the house soon!
