According to my mom, I was also a butt scooter like Luke. I never really crawled, but I started walking around 15 months, which is still considered late if you go by the book.
Our physical therapist mentioned one day that butt scooting is usually an indication that a person has low muscle tone. So, now I’m wondering if I maybe had it too, but not as bad as Luke. I have never been very athletic or had a lot of endurance. I managed to make it through basic training though:)
I’m just hopeful for Luke’s future. I hope that his hypotonia is something that he can overcome and eventually catch up to where he needs to be. It’s fine with me if he is never athletic, but I know this is something that would be more difficult for a boy to handle. He is already very smart, so I think he will be more studious than athletic anyway. Only time will tell us for sure.
