Write quickly seeing son move like a baby (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scrawl

'write quickly' is the definition.

'son move like a baby' is the wordplay.
'son' becomes 's'.
'move like a baby' becomes 'crawl'.
's'+'crawl'='SCRAWL'

'seeing' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for scrawl that I've seen before include "careless writing" , "Write hastily" , "carelessly written" , "Write untidily" , "Crawls away from bad writing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
