Your baby will likely start crawling soon after he's able to sit well without support (probably by the time he's 8 months old). After this point, he can hold his head up to look around, and his arm, leg, and back muscles are strong enough to keep him from falling on the floor when he gets up on his hands and knees.

Yes. When your baby starts learning to crawl she will choose the easiest way to do it. Your baby may feel stronger on her arms than her legs, in which case she'll push or scoot backwards. It's completely normal if your baby never crawls forwards or skips crawling altogether.
