Will is now grabbing toys hanging down from his jungle gym in each hand.
Just last week he was grabbing one with one hand then reaching over and grabbing with his other hand as well. Today I saw him going to town with both arms swinging and batting at the toys that hang down on [...]
I am aspiring to become a good cook. I am going to start out with some basic recipes that are more traditional like pastas, casseroles and such. After I get a few of those under my belt (successfully) I will move on to more elaborate dishes.
