Brooklyn's Crazy Back Crawl.

I really do not know how to describe this action of my daughter's except to say it's scary. She gets up on her heels and the back of her head like the middle picture shows. Then she reaches for what she wants like the bottom picture shows and then she sort of flattens out as she creeps toward the wanted object like in the first picture.


She has a belly crawl and gets around even faster that way. Yet when she gets fixated on something that she wants and she' s on her back she doesn't take the time to flip over to crawl properly to it she gets there on her back.

It's a little frightening the way her head folds under her shoulders having me completely scared that her neck is going to snap in half. It never happens, she just straightens herself out and scooches around to where she wants to go. It's crazy.


I haven't been able to catch it on video, and we flip her to her front when she does it to try and discourage her. Not because we don't want her to feel free to be herself, but she's lightening quick in the movement and trying to change the diaper on a kid doing this move is not easy.

At least we know her neck is strong. Seriously, what part of this girl isn't strong? UFC here she comes.

She could wear herself a bald spot doing that!! You do have a unique child there - I have no idea where she might have gotten that trait from!

Hey Brook, it is quicker to turn over and do the belly crawl!

Unreal! I've never seen anything like that!! Kinda looks like a belly dancing move or something...ha!
