Crawling Stage 1 : Failure to Launch

 Beau is in what we call the "Failure to Launch" stage of crawling. In this picture you can see he is up all the way on his elbows and knees. He can hold this position and gets in it by himself. He just isn't too sure what to do from here.
 I get so excited every time he gets in this position! I feel as though in a few weeks his motor skills will be developed enough to start moving forward, wobbly but surely!
 Here is an example of his cognitive development being visibly much greater than just even a few weeks ago. Here, he pushed the toy just out of his reach.
 The first thing he does is push his butt in the air and kick with his feet. This however is unsuccessful.
 He then decides to push up with his front and kick with his feet. This also is unsuccessful but he is getting the idea!! Soon enough, he will have both ends in the air, moving!
 He started to get sad that he wasn't able to reach his toy. So mom sang him a song and he liked that! : )
Maybe he will just skip crawling and go straight to walking! We will see!
To be continued as his motor skills continue to develop! Stay tuned for the next stage!
