Big Milestones

Yesterday was a big day. First of all, Donovan ate his first dinner on the screened porch! This is only important because Steve and I wait all winter for spring to come, the pine pollen to disperse, and the porch to be cleaned. And last night was the first night we ate outside. . .and Donovan was with us! Also, last night he got his thumb (with no additional fingers) in his mouth and sucked on it for a while. And he did it twice. He didn't appear to love the taste of it, but I think he was really tired and trying to get himself settled down. And, perhaps for Maris, the biggest milestone of all: he slept all night and was still asleep when she left for school this morning. So we'll see what ths afternoon brings.
