Growing skills, growing fears... (Video)

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

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!
