Not in any of the customary ways, though. He tacks. Like a boat. Lying down, he rolls to one side and then pivots his lower body. Then he rolls to his other side and repeats. (He does also give a little foot scooch on the roll, but most of the distance come from the roll-pivot action.) As a side note, he would also willingly roll himself off a bed; he tacked his way up a bed today and I was curious if he&#8217;d go off the end or stop and do something else.
