while this is technically her second time walking with some kind of mechanical assistance, it’s the first time we’ve gotten video.(video from Rose Park, in Georgetown.)

video: outake
httpv://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCQomotAm-A
up until this weekend, i was about two months behind on stitching together videos — and i’m starting to understand how people end up with stacks and stacks of mini-dv tapes piled up on a shelf, collecting dust.but, before you watch any of the rest of the videos, watch the outtake above. laugh-out-loud funny. in hindsight.
- stairs — sparklet is moving up and down stairs like nobody’s business. of course, we don’t have any, so we have to borrow the stairs at the playground.
- baby/birds in a bucket — the full session that produced the (hilarious!) outake above.
- bubble gum — two rules, do something cute and don’t eat the camera. did okay on the first. not so much on the latter.
- sparklet’s first film — it’s a little avant guarde. or maybe just weird for the sake of being weird. but who am i to judge?

proud papa
the lions at the zoo just had babies — four of them — and not knowing anything about animal husbandry, sparklet and i wandered up to the exhibit to see if they’d be out running around yet.no babies, but dad was there.
which brings up a good point — if the lady sparkler ever comes home with four babies, i’m taking papa lion’s lead by running into the back yard, climbing on top of the highest point, and hoping for the chaos will subside without my active participation.
