and he's off...!

Simon took his first steps on December 30th, but seemed to have decided it was too risky, and so it wasn't until about ten days ago that he took off again. But then there was no stopping him, and he is more often seen on two feet than hands and knees now. He also loves walking outside, and has taken me on some interesting walks, including a blackbird chase yesterday!

He will still walk holding our hands, as that gives him more balance, and here is a family photo, taken by a friend of ours who came to stay last week (thanks, K!).
