Jonah is Walking!

Yup, finally! It actually started happening around Rebuilding Weekend (April 26-27). But Jonah, having "walked" around for months beforehand while towing a patient adult by the fingers, quickly advanced from drunken staggering (as shown in the video here), to toddling, to nearly running. At this point, you'd never know he's been walking only three weeks. We're still a little dumbfounded by Jonah's new skill -- the fact that we can put him down and have him stand up and walk off somehow doesn't quite square (mentally) with the less-mobile Jonah that we've known for the last 16 months -- but Jonah seems entirely at home with the new skill and happy to be walking (and running) everywhere his little feet can take him.
