Margaret can walk

It's taken some time to put together vertical positions (i.e. standing) with mobility (i.e. crawling) with the end result being.... walking! A step or two followed by a collapse doesn't count - those are steps, not walking. But a series of multiple steps in succession without a subsequent collapse does, I think, count as walking.

A friend of mine with kids told me that there are two very discrete "lifestyle" breaks associated with a kid. The first, naturally, is the birth. You're stuck with them at that point and, boy oh boy, do they screw up your social life. The second is walking. EVERY parent that I've talked with about walking, and as I've noted elsewhere, it's amazing how many discussions you have with other parents about things that never entered your mind before, has a story about listening to their kid's head go thump-thump-thump down the stairs. I was told today that they are unlikely to do much damage in the event of such a fall since they don't weigh enough (basically, they bounce right off those stairs.) But I'm still trying to figure out how to make the stairs off limits.

In any case, here's a video of Margaret trundling, staggering, swaying - call it what you want, but it's clearly walking - through the grand halls of the GSA building.
