Caroline's Leap of Faith

Caroline's constantly testing the limits of her physical ability, and these pictures illustrate a recent example of this:

Here she is, ready for take off! Caroline loves to "jump," but up to this very moment, it has involved heights no more than one stair (so it's more like a step-off than a jump), unlike here, which is about 2 feet off the ground...

...Wheee! At this point, she's still having fun, not realizing what's about to happen. No worries, though. As you can tell, Dad was already in motion, even as the shutter snapped, ready to scoop up his little leaper and soothe away the tears!
