Woohoo, figured out how to get vids posted again!
Remarkably uncomplicated when I got right down to it.
Sadly....
Anyway, we'll get some holiday shots up soon, but wanted to get video of Finn's first swing ride up and also had a great photo-series of the boy's first attempt at a jailbreak that's too amusing not to share....
A little context: Mags and I got a night off for New Year's eve when Mom and Dan gave a us a free-night-out pass for Xmas; that New Year's morning, Finn was doing his normal roamings and wanderings when he ran into his newest nemesis, the babygate we had to put up to curtail his new favorite hobby, stair-climbing (which wouldn't be so bad if his stair-descending was a little less like stage-diving); this time, though, Finn brought along one of his newly adopted "toys," one of Maggie's mixing bowels; and unbidden and uncoached, the little rascal demonstrated problem-solving and tool-use all at once. See for yourself. The look on his face in the last shot pretty much says it all. Special thanks to Dan for capturing the moment; and double-super-special thanks for actually thwarting the jailbreak!
Hope everyone had a wonderful season and is already having an amazing New Year!
Love ya!
Swingtime!
Planning his route...
Ascent...
The summit!
