Adventure in the Park

Now that Jonas has this whole walking thing down (in doses anyway), he took out his new feet for a spin at the local park here yesterday with Mom and Dad. First, though, there was a momentary distraction by this crazy contraption he came across that featured a board and wheels (wheels!) that had Jonas looking at Mom as if to say, "Um, Mom, can I get one of these?"...

...then, as we went to practice more walking, Jonas found himself distracted by a football game that was taking place on one of the nearby fields...

...seeing something he liked there, too, he began using Mom as a tackling partner, practicing his push off the line of scrimmage...

...Dad picked him up after that, but soon Jonas was wanting down, repeating the word "walk," which appears to be his new favorite word...

...and walk he did. At first Dad held on around his waist...

...but in no time, Jonas was back in his walking groove, impressing several nearby folks who found the whole thing quite smile-inducing...

...and on and on he went, eventually offering a fist-pump to highlight his newfound skill.
