Leah began getting around by "crawling" pretty well last week. It's just taken us forever to have the video upload correctly. She sort of drags herself forward with one leg folded underneath her. It's really odd looking but she gets around that way. Her little dress in the video hides her "gimp" leg, but you might be able to tell. She can't push up from her tummy onto all fours so she does this kind of crawl to keep herself upright. If she leans forward too far and falls on her stomach she can't push herself back up. So by keeping one of her legs tucked in, she maintains her upright position. She knows her limits!

Jaci crawled just like this!! She got to be really fast and people would burst out laughing to see her go. When she was two and in gymnastics she had to learn how to crawl the right way in order to go through the tunnels. It took her several tries to learn it then. Keep me posted if she keeps this crawl!
