How will he start crawling?

So I am just curious how all your babies started crawling. I think if we would let him be on his tummy more that maybe he would be further along, but Jared is a protective daddy and hates to watch his baby struggle or be sad. And Porter doesn't like being on his tummy for long periods of time, it frustrates him. I have a neighbor whose baby was the same way and he would lean forward when he was sitting to reach something, and eventually got to where he was on fours. Interesting, right? Maybe he will do that? He can scoot backwards, but he isn't too consistent with it. I don't know how most babies start this step, it will be interesting to see how he does it. Just was wondering how it was for the rest of you.

Ooh yay! Porter is getting so big! Can you believe he is already so close to crawling?! Okay, since you asked, here is the scoop on Parker and crawling. He HATED being on his tummy! Seriously! We thought we would be good parents by putting him on his tummy, but once he learned how to roll over, he never stayed on his tummy. Finally one day, he realized that he could be more mobile by dragging himself around on his tummy. Once he started doing this, we would put his knees under him and try to get his hands in position as well. He was confused as to what we were doing, but eventually he was pulling his knees up all by himself! It's weird how they accomplish crawling. It seemed so impossible to me that Parker would ever learn how to crawl. Don't worry, Porter will find a way. Also, they are more motivated when they see other kids doing it as well.
