Right around week 4 my husband built a crawling track. It's funny that we finally decided to build one with our third child, but we hope to get plenty of use out of it. It is 6 feet long and covered in Naugahyde. The walls are a little shorter than recommended, and I have noticed that her feet kick over the top on occasion, but we decided to be frugal and use what we had on hand.

Since that time we have begun doing crawling on an incline multiple times daily as well as opportunities on the track with it flat. Unfortunately, we have not been able to reach Doman's goals for time on the track as she tends to either cry hysterically or fall asleep when on the track. We've tried lying next to her so she can see us, putting interesting toys in her line of sight, talking to her, etc. At this time I think it is just building up familiarity with it. So we will just keep going with multiple short sessions a day.
