This weekend Zoe started walking! She’s taken a few steps before, but it was always like she didn’t really realize she was doing it - and we could never get a repeat performance. We were at her friend Maia’s first birthday party, and she stood up, raised her arms over her head and looked at me like, “Do you see what I’m doing? This is pretty cool, right?” Then I held out my arms and she took about five steps right to me. We didn’t have the camera out, but thankfully she did it again later that night.
My simian compatriots never make things easy for me.
Hi, I'm Scott Vandehey

This guy is awesome. He's so serious, and you can tell he thinks he's a complete badass - but the whole thing just flops and feels like an awful joke. "Yeah, c'mon."
It’s never too early to alert Coach Lanana. The UO has a very strong distance program, Scott. I’m sure Zoe will look great in the green and gold. Track Town, U.S.A.!
