good walking!

Garrett took his first independent steps on September 4th, and since that time, has become increasingly more balanced and steady. I still, however, hesitate to firmly tell people that he's walking because, honestly, he only does it when coaxed. And though he's lately grown more fond of two-footed explorations around the perimeters of the apartment and its furniture by clinging to walls and anything else handy, crawling is still his preferred method of getting around.

Walking is like a game for him, and he gets really happy and excited when we practice. Last night, just before bed, Garrett was extra jolly and consequently extra exuberant in his efforts to walk. And, happily, we got some of it on film.
