zoom, zoom, zoom!

Much like a Mazda, Gavin seems determined to zoom. He's still not crawling normally, just pulling/pushing himself along the floor on his belly; I'm not sure he ever will crawl normally. Now that he has pulled himself up, he seems to be all focused on that. He wants to pull up, and worse, he seems to be figuring out that his legs are good for more than just propelling himself across the floor horizontally. This evening he was standing, holding onto my fingers for balance, and looking at my keys laying on the floor a few feet away (and bouncing up and down, because my child does not just stand and look around quietly, he is in constant motion) and then took a step and let go of my fingers. He fell smoosh onto his face, of course. But for one fleeting second, he forgot that he couldn't walk. I think he's taking the Douglas Adams approach to walking. One of these days he'll throw himself at the ground and miss.
