Ford turns one next week, and it’s like he went from babe in arms to leaping toddler monkey overnight. One day, he was dragging himself along the floor like a commando, the next he was standing, then climbing, and now jumping in place with shrieking glee. He hasn’t taken his first steps yet, but I would not be surprised if those steps were taken at a run. Walking seems too sedate for the neph; he’s got places to go and things to poke.

I like this shot because for such a smiley, exuberant kid, he’s also got a serious side that comes out in pensive moments like this. I’ll post some classic Ford grin-porn for the scattered relatives next post, okay?
