The Art of Crawling
Just recently and that’s in the past week my baby started to learn how to crawl but the funny thing he’s moving like a soldier with one arm against his chest and the other to push himself forward. But cuuute. I guess that’s called creeping because he drags himself around on the floor. Very rarely he’s on his four, with several failed tries to sway back and forth a little and leaps to the floor.
On a different note, yesterday I found a bluish greenish splotch on his upper gums and for a while now he’s been rubbing his gums on my shoulders all the time. So I know that he’s upper teeth might be coming out real soon especially now that they’re so swollen though his lower ones were not as bad.
Anyways, what really got me worried is the bruise I found on his upper gums. I’ve never seen anything like it. He must have hit his gums on one of his toys because that happens a lot and he’d start to cry at once. That might be the reason for that bruise. But I hope it has nothing with teething. It also turned out that an illness is connected with teething in one way or another. I want to take him to the dentist once I’m done from work.

Awww, ya nasooo! The first paragraph made me smile, Mashallah, you have a lovely way of portraying his crawl
And the next 2 paragraphs made me think of the big ‘tooth moment’ all mothers fear… Maybe not all, but all my gfs who became parents were stressed at this point. I guess it is something natural, normal for parents to react like that. Inshallah, you’ll get rid of all your worries once visiting the dentist!

The doctor said it was normal, I guess. I made sure he checked on his ears too, thanks to Allah everything is fine now.
