Mackenzie was a 'stiff' baby. Cooper was all noodle-y! I suspect his lack of tension was part of the reason he walked late, and never crawled! But hey - why crawl when you can scoot!?! (Bythe way, he is saying "cat" -- and you can hear the cat meow in the background at the beginning -- I was using the cat as scoot bait!)
This was very early in the scoot era. As you can see he struggles quite a bit to gain just a little ground. Later, as he became stronger and slightly more coordinated, he got pretty fast with a side-scoot method where he would launch himself off his buttcheek, stabilized by one arm and propelled by extending his bent leg. He would even catch a little air with each scoot motion!
