She’s off into the world on her own two feet, now
Audrey walked tonight, for the very first time. She waited until the household was together, then just started giving it a burl. Bang. First time. 4 steps. Its one hour later now, and she’s still walking all over the place, experimenting with it: turns, step-ups, fast, slow.

Newsflash: Audrey stands on her own two feet
Audrey stood up for the first time in her life today, completely unassisted. She waited until we were all there, then stood up, and clapped herself, and beamed.
Ethan made up a joke.
Q: What is a cow’s favourite food?
