Baby K - Bum Shuffling Rocks


My best-friend's daughter is 11 months old and i gave her a moniker "Strawberry Head" because in the morning, the shape of her head resembles a strawberry where a cluster of hair on her crown stands straight like the calyx of the strawberry. 
I warmed up to her during my short stay at their home in Aberdeen.

She is one special baby and she is the first baby that I know who does not crawl. Instead of crawling she moves by scooting around on her posterior using her hands to propel her forward. Based on my best friend or her mummy, she will skip crawling entirely while learning to walk. And that very movement is called bum shuffle. It took me awhile before I remember the term. It was beyond entertaining to see her scoot around using her derriere. I miss Strawberry Head.
