Proud Mom Moment

Post by Jake'smom »

My sweet baby boy started the combat crawl last week! He's all over the room now! He gets up on his hands and knees and rocks and will even make a few attempts at moving those arms but if he wants to really move...he drops to his belly! I'm just so proud and excited and wanted to share! Thanks!

I'm from europe and english is not my native language. So I was wandering what it means to crawl in combat style. Is that with your whole body on the floor or just with your knees and hands on the floor?

My daughter also starts to crawl a month ago, and we are absolutely thrilled about it.

combat crawl is like men in the army do...with your belly on the ground.

Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: LOBPI. I am 77 yrs old and never had a name for my injuries until 2004 when I found UBPN at age 66.

My injuries are: LOBPI on upper body and Cerebrael Palsy on the lower left extremities. The only intervention I've had is a tendon transplant from my left leg to my left foot to enable flexing t age 24 in 1962. Before that, my foot would freeze without notice on the side when wearing heels AND I always did wear them at work "to fit in" I also stuttered until around age 18-19...just outgrew it...no therapy for it. Also suffered from very very low self esteem; severe Depression and Anxiety attacks started at menopause. I stuffed emotions and over-compensated in every thing I did to "fit in" and be "invisible". My injuries were Never addressed or talked about until age 66. I am a late bloomer!!!!!

I welcome any and all questions about "My Journey".

Wonderful news!! I love to celebrate milestones. When my son made a new one, we paraded around the house hitting pots & pans,making music. It was great fun.
Here's a cheer for Jake!!! YAYYYYYYY!

He's now crawling on all fours!!! His arm doesn't seem to be holding him back at all on this milestone. My husband and I are soooo excited and are breathing a little sigh of relief. This was a topic that worried us a lot, but he seems to be doing just fine. Thanks for all your encouraging words!

My daughter (now 4) looked the best ever when she was crawling. It is the greatest weight bearing you can do (when done within normal limits).
\congrats on this important milestone. encourage crawling as long as possible, my hubby and I felt back b/c we would actually knock her over when she tried to stand...gently of course.
