Danny can walk!

Danny has perfected the art of walking over the last two weeks . This must surely be one of the most exciting moments of a baby's development. It's very difficult for a proud mother to pick a single video of this special event so I've selected four video clips that show his rapid progression from 1 or 2 steps to confident walking.

This one was taken a couple of weeks ago when he could only take 1 or 2 steps and still preferred crawling (it also demonstrates the effect that the open door has on him - he loves being outside).


This one was taken last week when he managed to string a few steps together and toppled over a lot (incase you're wondering Nicholas is practicing yoga in the background).


This one was taken a few days ago when he was becoming a bit more sure footed (it's also nice because it shows some of his other skills like waving, clapping, blocking his ears and getting ready to do a bommela).


And this one was taken this afternoon (I love Nicholas' running commentary and encouragement - there's no wonder Danny can already follow a complex set of instructions like climb over the beam, look for airplanes, walk-walk-walk, pick up balls and dunk them!)
