couch olive spoon

boden was able to get onto the couch on his own today. he has been close for several days now, but today he finally got all the way up. once he was up we left him to his own devices. figuring that if he fell it would be a good lesson in gravity, because now that he can get up on his own we are not always going to be able to catch him. however today he did just fine. both times up he made it down without a scratch.

at the tiemeyer family party today, he tried olives for the first time. he seemed to like them; he ate approximately 4 slices. this is one more sign that he has his mom's tastes, not his dad's. which i think is good, because if he is going to fit in with the churgovichs he is going to have to like vegies, vinegar, and rotted cabbage.

then to top his day of firsts off, boden "successfully" used a spoon, on his own, to eat some applesauce. he scooped it and everything. it was not pretty and it did make a mess, but applesauce went from the bowl to his mouth, under his own power, without touching his hands.

Black or green olives. I need to know so I'll buy the right ones when he comes.
