It is about the time

It is about the time…teething? Not yet. Alvin still loves to show his teeth-less grins. He is just taking his time.

But, one thing did excite his parents: Alvin finally started to learn how to crawl, kind of.

Ever since he was 2 months old, the parents tried to put him on tummy to exercise his arms. But, like many other babies, Alvin just didn’t like tummy time at all. He would yell and cry and yell and cry all the time. Once he mastered how to turn from tummy to back, there is no more tummy time for him! Although it becomes normal for many babies to skip the crawling part and go straight to walking, the parents still worried that Alvin would miss all the fun time by cruising around with the arms and knees, not to mention that he could even help mom to mop the floor!

The change came after 2 weeks in the day care. With all the babies crawling around him and chasing after balls and stealing his toys away and giving him unwanted hugs and kisses, he realized he could not sit still and do nothing. The competitive world has made Alvin to excel!

As far as his crawling skills, Alvin only knows basic movement using his tummy and one side of his arms and legs. Imagining a turtle with big round tummy sticking out and four legs up in the air - that is how he crawls right now. Very entertaining.
