The Undiscovered Country

My boy's walking!

Thomas is now officially a toddler. He's been taking a few steps here and there for about a month, but over the past two weeks, he walks on his own with no encouragement about 60% of the time.

He also loves the outdoors (yeah, I know, big surprise). He learned a few days ago how much fun digging into the mud (and crawling in it), tearing up the grass, and throwing rocks can be.

Here's a little video of him walking around in a public play area at our local mall (you'll need Apple Quicktime to view it): http://www.almarquardt.com/images/Little_stroll.mov

In case you haven't read my entry on 4/13, I added more photos of Thomas in "Invalid Item" 

Hmm. Can you tell I'm a typical proud parent?

Lastly, based on the comments you left in yesterday's entry, I learned what makes a blog successful: Whenever we say it is. If we're happy with how it's written, the subject matter, and the number of views/comments, then it's a success.

How simple is that?

Happy Friday!
