It didn't take long for Little Man's first tentative crawls to turn into full-throttle motion--especially if there is something in his sight that he wants. Usually, the things that make him go zoom zoom zoom are items he is not allowed to have. When he spots these things unattended on the floor, he can get from point A to point B more quickly than I thought possible. These items include:
--Remotes and game controllers
--Any electronic, including but not limited to phones, cameras and iPods
--Bags and purses
--Cords and plugs
--Grown up food and drinks
Crawling means freedom to follow Mommy and Daddy from spot to spot as well as being able to get to his toy basket and pick out his OWN toys. Crawling means the ability to get to things in which he can work on his pulling-up skills, which are developing at a rapid pace. Crawling means, until the baby-proofing is complete (and is that even possible?), that I spend the majority of my days jumping up to "re-set" the Little Man back to a neutral space so he has to start over in his endeavor to get to the blinds, the printer, or the entertainment center with it's sharp and pointy edges. And even though it's exhausting, it's amazing to watch Little Man develop all these new skills.
