Jude has been army crawling for a couple of months now. Our hardwood floors make it easier to slide on his belly, rather than get on his hands and knees. Julia was the same way. For about a week now, I have been trying to strip Jude down to his diaper a few hours each day to try to get him to crawl "normally". This is what we finally did to get Julia to crawl normal. It is hard to slide on a bare belly.
Tonight Jude finally decided that it was easier to crawl on his hands and knees, than it was to try to slide (army crawl) across the floor with a bare belly. He has had the ability to crawl normally for awhile now, he just did not have the motivation.
He would start out trying to army crawl, and would quickly get up on his hands and knees instead. He was actually really good at crawling normally. Maybe now he will not get his shirts so completely filthy!
