Call this being a doting father...

... and possibly redundant, as she already flies, but Rachel took her first steps last night. She was very casual about it, too. Like "Oh, well, I've sampled all the delights of flying, now let's try this bipedal locomotion nonsense."

She's doing it again as I type this. Four steps at a time seems to be her limit today.

Today walking, tomorrow the world! Can I stop by and encourage? :) (Not abet, mind you, encourage. Abetting is for later.)

... you're still not reassuring me much, you know.

But yes, by all means, stop by.

And if I were trying to be reassuring that would be a problem. :) See you in a bit.

I don't need to mock it. Others will do that for me. I'm just making a point about which side of the family your darling daughter may have got her tendencies from.

I'll have you know that 'others' in general approve of the X-chicken. It's tacky but extremely useful. I can bench-press the Blackbird with no trouble, for example...

Not that I've ever bench-pressed the Blackbird.

Now I'm wondering if I could make enough of me that I could bench-press the Blackbird.

That is such a good...I mean bad idea. Hmm...
