Your child may be a scooter, one who likes to stay upright and scoot across the floor on his bottom. Many babies prefer creeping, commando crawling or wriggling forward on the stomach. Many children will crab-crawl, scooting backwards. Some babies roll everywhere and then go straight to pulling up and walking.
Some go straight to walking, some bum shuffle, some push themselves backwards on their tummy (consider getting a tummy time mat!!) around the living room, some crawl backwards.
