Guess what Huxley did today!

He started walking. The following video is his third or fourth real attempt, the first one that went beyond two or three steps and a dive.

Jim was an early, confident walker. Greta likes to say that he didn't learn to walk, he went straight to running. By the time he was about 16 months old, he could already outrun his already-pregnant mother. Nora, on the other hand, was a late, tentative walker. She took her first steps at around…
Mirabile dictu, the electric company came by and replaced our downed power line this afternoon. Blogging will resume tout de suite, but first can I at least get the temperature in here above 60 degrees? (Up from 44, that is). While cranking up the thermostat in my office today I thought about some…
My cat, Isaac, died on Monday. He never did anything like a normal cat, and that includes the manner in which he died. He went from no symptoms to multiple organ failure in less than a week. We'll come to that in a moment. Cats like Isaac are the reason people own cats. If he were a person…
Saturday finally saw some good action in the NCAA tournamnet. Three of the eight games went to overtime, and four of the remaining five were decided by seven points or less. VCU and Xavier came up short against Pitt and Ohio State, but made fantastic runs to get the games into OT, and #6 seed…

Yay Huxley! But I'm sorry you have such a goofy mom.

And by Friday, he'll be wanting to borrow the car...

Triumph of Humanity! Well done Huxley. I don't know about the "goofy mom" comment. I think Huxley's mom is, quite appropriately, hot! Well done, Greg, well done!

Don't believe Amanda, Huxley. Your mom is great!

Congrats on the walking. The lake will and cabin will be so much more fun now that you will be able to wade this summer in the water.

Don't let him watch "Family Guy"! Stewie Griffin is not a good influence on toddlers, with all that matricidal anger, advanced weaponry and everything.

Change in climate opened up the African savanna and may have facilitated our adaptations for fully upright/bipedal locomotion (according to some theories).

Our anthropogenically-enhanced (according to some theories) changing climate correlates with Huxley's transition to bipedal locomotion.

Coincidence?

Woohoo!!! Of course this means that running is about a week away and using furniture as ladders won't be far behind. The next thing you know, he'll be sneaking out in the middle of the night to go carousing with his playmates and...Hmm...

Good job Huxley, you have just opened up a world of possibilities for parental harassment.
