A Step in the Right Direction. . . .

Tonight Piper took a step. Only one, but it was her first step. We had one-year check-ups this morning, complete with a few shots, so Gary had pulled out the Tylenol for the babies' last dose before bedtime. Piper L-O-V-E-S her some Tylenol, so she turned around, stepped toward Gary, and reached for the Tylenol! Not much longer and we won't be able to get her to stop running. . . .
