So here is Noah doing some creeping earlier today. Most people would think of it is crawling, but in medical terms, crawling is what we typically think of as the military crawl done on the stomach and creeping is up on the hands and knees (though Noah still doesn't use his hands much during creeping) -- what we traditionally think of as crawling. Noah does a lot of crawling, too, down an inclined plane.
Anyway, Noah seems to be glad to be creeping again. We have had a lot of problems with this program over the last several months -- not the least of which was that every time Noah would push with his right foot, his skin would tear and open up a small wound. Of course band aids get pushed off when he moved, so we had to move to the self-adhesive bandages and some athletic tape (seen in the second photo with the look of serious concentration on his face). Now that we wrap his foot up each time he "creeps", he is doing much better and the sore has healed almost completely.
He seems to be kind of proud of his "war" wounds, however, and smiles whenever I tell somebody why he has the bandage on his foot.
