Walking!

Clara is walking! Video proof below. But first...

Clara playing soccer in our apartment in Berlin. She loves it, and she has a pretty awesome kick for such a little girl.

Snuggling in Philly with Nancy...

... who apparently let her eat leaves from the ground! ;)

But here, the walking:

These are pretty much the first deliberate free steps (that's why we sound so silly and excited). But in the meantime, Clara has been practicing this several more times, although she can't get further than about 3 steps or so before she throws her head back, closes her eyes, pulls her arms in, and goes "TIMBER!" - with a huge smile on her face.

Oh, btw: I passed my dissertation defense! Yay! Here's Clara cheering me on right before the talk.

Yay walking!
That's a sweet picture of Clara with Nancy, but I'm the one letting her eat leaves.

Haha, yeah I figured those feet were Susy's, but it fit the story better this way! ;)
