The Riddle of the Sphinx

"What goes on four legs in the morning, on two legs at noon, and on three legs in the evening?" The answer? Man.
In Sophie and Matthew's case, they're at about 11.30. What a difference a month makes. Matthew made his first hesitant steps a month ago, with Sophie following a few days later. Now they're marching about at every opportunity. Sophie started doing laps through our living room, hall, kitchen and dining room last night. There is a lot of stumbling and falling, so there are a lot of tears too, but it's just brilliant watching them grow in strength and confidence on a daily basis.
