Rolling over, sitting without support, cruising (walking along furniture), and walking independently are important developmental milestones. Crawling isn't.
Crawling isn't even mentioned in my favorite pediatric development textbook!
This seems strange since, of any of these behaviors, crawling is most associated with babies. The truth is many babies never crawl! They do need to find some way to move across the floor. Each will do so at unpredictable times and in distinctive ways. Your grandson may be a scooter, one who likes to stay upright and scoot across the floor on his bottom. Many babies prefer creeping, or wriggling forward on the stomach. Many children will crab-crawl, moving backwards. And, of course, many children will get up on all fours and crawl forward in the traditional way. Each child is unique.
Some adults are concerned that children who don't crawl in the traditional way will be less coordinated. This is a myth. As long as the baby begins to move across the floor using each arm and each leg, there is no cause for concern.
I'm reluctant to mention time frames, but somewhere between six and ten months I expect babies to discover some way to move horizontally across the floor to get desired objects. Obstacles to this include the child's not spending enough time on the floor, using an infant walker (which often eliminates the desire to learn crawling behaviors -- infant walkers are bad for proper development), having toys brought to the infant, pushing the child to learn to crawl, and physical problems such as muscle weakness. If babies actually crawl, it usually begins at around 8 to 10 months.
Crawling may be encouraged by spending time on the floor with the baby, placing favorite toys just out of reach, putting a dog-bone pillow or a rolled towel under his chest when he's on his stomach to keep his head up so he can look around and enjoy himself more when on his stomach, or putting a hand behind his feet to give him something to push against if he tries to crawl.

Answer
Put everything down, that way people have a good amount of options.
Here's a list of all of the things I've used so far with my 4 month old...hope this is helpful!
Crib
Crib mattress
Swing
Bouncer
High Chair
Rocking chair or glider
Baby changing table and dresser
Car seat
Stroller
Walker
Exersaucer
Baby play mat gym
Sling or Baby carrier
Diaper bag
Changing table pad and cover
2 sets of crib sheets
bassinet
bassinet sheets
Jogging stroller if you plan on running or jogging with baby
Pack n play
Breast pump
Plenty of diapers in sizes 1, 2, 3
baby wipes
Diaper rash creams
lotions and baby powders
Infant tylenol
baby grooming kit, nail clippers, hair brush, etc
baby bath robes/towells
baby wash cloths
onsies
sleepers
baby nightgowns
a few outfits in different sizes
teething rings
play toys, books, rattles, stuffed animals
blankets, receiving blankets and plush cozy ones
fresh food feeders

bottle brush
different sizes of nipples
breast sheilds
breast pads
nursing bras
baby shopping cart seat
baby book
photo albums

teething tablets
diaper genie.... I loved mine, that was a must have!
My advice is to go to target or babies r us and register there, they give you a list similar to this one of all the things you might need or want to register for. Put plenty of things on your list, it gives people like family a chance to splurge on you if they want to spend more and people on a tighter budget a chance to purchase things that are less money. Have fun and good luck!
