My First Crawl!

..finally! ~8:30am on Oct 11.

I had been tumbling since Aug 25, but it sure is tiring to do my usual routine - rotate, tumble, reach and grab - to fetch the toy some distance away. Commando Crawling seems lot less stressful. It is so much fun to drag oneself along and rest whenever one wants. All these oldies who are going around with the lower two hands are probably missing the fun. I like both my upper and lower hands equally. Both are tasty, but the upper hands are lot more useful now. I am not able to grab things with my lower hands though.

I asked my dad to time me on Oct 15th: My Personal Record (PR) is 95 secs to go from wall to wall of our big room which is ~14 feet (wrong units! more appropriately ~40 baby crawls) I had to take 4 breathing breaks to achieve this.
