i guess she figured it out.

like the title says, and as that tired old cliché tells us, Arwyn went from walking to running in no time at all. well, maybe she's not quite running yet (at least not without holding onto one of us), but pretty close. after just a couple of days of taking a few steps here and there, Arwyn is now quite confident in her walking, as this clip shows:




that's pretty amazing, i think. in any case, it's probably a lot less frustrating for her now since she can get to the things she wants without assistance. now we've just got to work a little on the whole talking thing so that she can tell us what she wants, what the problem is this time, why she is screaming, etc... ;)

preparing this clip of Arwyn walking really got me thinking about just how much she has changed in the year since she was born. as every parent is well known for saying, it's pretty amazing stuff. especially over the second 6 months of their lives, it's astonishing just how much they grow, learn, and just change all around. since i'm a nostalgic old softie, i put together a short set of clips from Arwyn's first day in the outside world. i hope you enjoy them.
