For the past two months, Emmy has been trying to walk. Her standard procedure has been to rear up on her hind legs, launch forward, teeter, collapse, and then resume her journey anew, this time with all moving parts in full contact with the ground.

We were just talking about how there was a time when Ember was herself, but wasn’t; she didn’t talk (clearly), didn’t walk (well), was so short she had to do nearly everything on tiptoes. And then I thought: I know! Let’s go to Mama G’s trusty old blog and watch the clip!
I am so grateful this video, and wormlips (both the blog and the person) exist.
It’s just magical, isn’t it.
