Tiger Update

Today, Tiger took her first steps unassisted. She's been standing without support for months now, and happily walks as long as she has something to hold onto. Corvus was sitting at his computer, and I stood her up a few feet away from him. It was obvious from the way she looked at him that she really wanted to walk. He encouraged her, and then she took the two steps to reach him without holding onto anything. The great thing is that we were both there to see it. With Corvus's work schedule, that's nearly miraculous.

But that wasn't the only progress for the day! Her first molar has broken through, and it feels like the other three won't be too much longer. Soon she'll be eating pretty much everything in sight.

She also learned how to clap her hands a few days ago, and has been practicing that a lot. She gets so excited when she lines them up right and makes a sound.
