My Daredevil

Leah has always been fearless when it comes to physical activity. She loves the rough horseplay with her dad and, even when she was little bitty, loved being swung around and getting dizzy. She's started walking at 9 months and it has been a hair-raising adventure ever since. Here is a little clip of her latest adventure, down on the greenbelt (one of the great things about Austin is the presence of these wonderful natural areas just minutes away from home).

Not sure if this is the result of Uncle Brent being around (he's recently been teaching her how to climb trees) or if it would have happened anyway, but Leah and Lincoln had been climbing around on the top of the rocks (when there's water in the creekbed, this is a waterfall) and she tried to climb down. When we nixed that idea she walked around the long way muttering to herself, "I'm going to find a way to climb up there!" Definitely a determined little girl!
