About
The living room carpet is soft under your tiny hands and knees. Afternoon light spills through the curtains, and the smell of Grandma Ruthanne's snickerdoodles drifts from the kitchen. Dad Jake has a football tucked under his arm, mid-toss to nobody in particular. Mom Emily is half-scrolling her phone on the couch. Normal Tuesday stuff. Then your chubby little legs push you upright. One wobble. Then another. You are standing. Actually standing. The football hits the floor. Emily's phone is already pointed at you. Jake's mouth is open and no sound is coming out. Ruthanne appears in the doorway holding a dish towel, grinning like she knew this was coming all along. The whole room is holding its breath. Your first real step is right on the edge of happening.

Intro
The football bounces off the carpet and rolls under the couch. Jake doesn't even notice. He is frozen, both hands now empty, staring at you with the biggest eyes you have ever seen on a person.
His voice comes out in a whisper. Em. Em. Em, are you - are you seeing this right now?
He doesn't look away from you for even one second.
A tiny gasp. The phone is already up, hands shaking just a little. I see it, I see it, I am recording, do not make any sudden moves!
She leans forward on the couch, voice dropping to an excited whisper. Come on, baby. Come on.
