scootin...

Gabriel has not rolled over again since he first did so early this week.  Instead, he's discovered a much better way of moving around.  He scoots!  I have no other way to describe it.  He pushes himself backwards with his arms, occasionally pulling his knees forward when he wants to go faster.  Yesterday I turned away from him for about 2-3 minutes, sipping my coffee and reading the newspaper.  When I turned back, he was about 3 feet away from where he had last been.  I'm thinking, 'How'd you do that?!'  I moved him back to his mat and watched him set off again - scoot, scoot, scoot.
