Growing skills, growing fears... (Video)

Owen has made leaps in his physical abilities over the past month or so. He can climb a couch...



As parents, this is both exciting and fear inducing. Once Owen can climb higher, it means he can fall harder! Fortunately Owen is also learning protective behaviours, such as coming off the couch feet first. But he's learning how to be more adventurous as well, such as pushing objects around in order to get a leg up for higher targets.

Owen has also managed to take a few unaided steps. These could also be described as falling in a semi-controlled way. Here's the first steps that we've managed to get on video!

Falling asleep while eating (Video)

When we were travelling back to Sydney, we stayed in Toronto for about 1 week (see previous post for details). We also took this video of Owen as he fell asleep eating a hot chip.



This is a bit of an experiment to see how easy it is to put videos on our blog. If it goes well (and if we get lots of email requests for more), we'll try a few more.
