I think they all kind of go back and forth depending on need, fatigue, speed, etc. Avery mostly bear crawls everywhere, but I catch her sometimes when she is tired or in a new place she may combat crawl again. When she first learned to bear crawl she would just do it a bit and when she wanted to get somewhere fast she would soldier crawl again. Maybe he has learned that he can combat faster to get where he wants to go. I think it takes a bit more strength, maybe he does the combat when he gets a bit tired. The other thing I thought of is that maybe he has moved to a different area of learning like speech or fine motor. Does he seem to be picking up words or signs more now. It seems like when that happens, they slack off a bit in other areas. Avery was really copying words and signing like crazy and now it seems like she barely does that at all. she is moving around like mad now just not talking. I would just let him do what he is doing and see if he comes back to stronger crawling or bear crawl again. He will when he is ready. I know it is hard not to worry. I keep thinking lately that Avery has lost her speech, but she is just focused on moving now and it will come back...probably right where she left off or even a bit further ahead!
