So if you don't want to read about it (it's very G/PG rated, just so you know), don't click to read the rest of the entry. … [Read more...]

5 Steps!

So one of the most exciting things ever happened to night (or at least most exciting to me and my husband, at least)... Our daughter took her first 5 steps all by herself! Ahh, it was so exciting! I'm so proud of my little girl! What happened was she was standing at the couch and my husband was sitting on the floor a couple feet away. He held her cup out to her to see if she wanted something to drink, and she let go of the couch and took 5 steps to him! I started crying. Lol. Children … [Read more...]
