He scoots, he scores!

So, what are the odds that we would have two, yes two children who choose scooting over the traditional crawl? Who knew? Theo is indeed on the move, and after much experimentation (about two-months worth), he seems to be settling on the scoot. His scoot, however, is a lot less graceful than his sister's. Where she slid artfully on her posterior, with arms perfectly positioned to maximize scootability, Theo prefers to raise his bottom, rock a bit to inch himself forward then while lowering himself back down he rounds it all out with an arm shuffle that buys him maybe a millimeter more ground. It's extremely, almost painfully, inefficient. He doesn't seem to mind. And just like with Esmé, it is something to see.
