Well, supposedly Oliver took his first two steps yesterday. I didn't see them, because I was in the other room when it happened. Therefore it's hard for me to call these his "official" first steps. But John claims that he was helping Oliver stand a few feet from the couch. There was a ball (one of Brother's favorite toys) on the couch, and Oliver took two or three steps on his own to get to it. John started hollering at me to watch, and of course the boy wouldn't do it again. John said if we can repeat it in the next few days it probably wasn't a fluke.

Last night I made an awesome dinner. You need to give it a try. It's easy (one of my stipulations), and it's yummy (my other stipulation). Check out thepioneerwoman.com for some interesting stuff. Her Chicken Spaghetti is what I made last night, and it was super great. There's a printable recipe right under the picture, but the long description is kinda fun. I'm not a chef, so I like step-by-step, hold-your-hand sort of instructions.
