Nischal flipped around 4.5 months, and since has been threatening to crawl or sit up.
His mom & grandma have debates about whether he's going to sit first, or crawl first.
After flipping, his first task as General Nischal was to get the big picture. So, he spent a few days circling on his tummy. Then he started doing pushups. The pushups vary in style and intensity. He has followed this next with various yoga poses that his grandma knows all names of.
He has started crawling.. but barely. For a while, while the " I'm going to sit now " act was on, he'd raise his one leg up like a dog about to pee - and the crowd at home would go wild. Then he half sat on one butt, and decided not to continue - too much adulation.
He has figured out that the bed has a different surface from the floor. On the bed, his locomotion is achieved by a series of pushups and slamming his face down on the bed to move forward.
On the floor, this movement has a disadvantage in that his head gets banged up a bit. There, he prefers to slowly move his legs, alternatively rock, and in most cases just bawl until somebody brings him that damn toy.
Its in this arena his intellectual development exceeds his motor skills. He's figured whom to smile at, bawl at, or just abuse incessantly - to get what he wants.
His mom occasionally worries :
"His brother stood up at 7.5 months .. "
"This guy isn't even sitting at 7 months .."
"The donkey next door was braying at 3 months .. " etc.
Nischal continues unfazed, with his yogic postures and pushups.
The push ups pic is funny :).. seems like he is really doin a intense workout
