But whatever the reason, Alex has really taken off over the last few days. We went from just barely moving to:
"Jesse, can you grab that plastic bag on the ground and take it away before Alex gets to it?"
"... Nope, I can't. ... ... He got to it first!"
Just like we predicted, fully mobile by the time we moved.
He seems to have mostly given up the idea of crawling, and has settled for scooting. He nearly always starts off on all fours, taking one single crawling "step" forward, then finishes with his belly dragging across the ground.
And of course, this is just such perfect timing, right? When I have no safe spot in the house for him to play in? Ah, well. It's still so much fun to watch him try to be such a big boy! And like Melinda has noted several times, he's also "trying to sit up!" He's getting oh-so-close to getting himself into a sitting position. All he needs to do is lean a little bit, and it will be enough to get himself upright. I just wish wish wish the carpet padding were thicker - I'm afraid of the upcoming first several tries and resulting head bonks on the floor.
But here, a video is so much more fun than me trying to describe it all, isn't it?

You're right, watching was way better (maybe just more fun!!), than you trying to explain it. That was really fun to watch. Thanks for sharing.
not only does he seem to be working really hard at all those moves...he sounds like it's really hard work. nothing but a video could have given me that picture. he's doing great.
That is absolutely amazing. He's going to be walking before you know it(sorry). He is such a cutie!
