The behavior you're describing is known as "scooting." It is one of several different types of mobility that infants may exhibit as they begin to explore the world around them. Instead of traditional crawling on hands and knees, some babies find unique ways to move from one place to another before they start walking. Scooting on the bottom using their hands for propulsion is Kenna's method of choice for mobility. This is a common and normal variation in infant motor development. Some infants may transition from scooting to crawling on hands and knees, while others may scoot until they learn to stand and walk.
