How old is Gabriel? My daughter is 13 months now and starting to walk but she never crawled correctly. She only gets on one kneww and then kind of scoots the other along on the floor. We see PT every other week and tried all sorts of things to get her to crawl but she just won't. Now that she is starting to walk and seems OK we're not as worried about it. A lot of people will tell you that crawling is a step that is very importnant in a baby's development and others will tell you its ok to skip it and go right to walking. So far our daughter seems to be one of those to skip it alltogther and she is developing on track.
