Holy Flaming Ovens Batman!

Our microwave decided to break last Sunday, right in the middle of heating up our leftovers. We were going to have some homemade Super Potato Oles. I had just enough time to heat up some Nacho Cheese, albeit not completely hot. I was able to heat up some hamburger on the stove, and attempted to reheat the tater tots in the oven. Little did I know that apparently, the day I made chicken enchiladas, the casserole dish overflowed and dirtied up my oven. So I was heating up the tater tots, but something just didn't smell right. I opened up the oven door, and smoke started billowing out. Charlie insists he saw fire, but I still don't believe him. Well, the tater tots were mildly cold. What a great lunch to have tater tots with cold everything. I tried cleaning the oven, but I had no oven cleaner, so it wasn't coming clean. Since both the oven and microwave were out of commision, we ate out quite a bit this week. And Sam had his first real taste of pizza.

But I got the oven cleaned, and we got a new microwave, so it's all good now.

Sam's been growing like a weed. He's learned to pull himself up, and has even taken a few steps while holding onto objects. He's doing a lot better at night, usually only waking up once. Last night, he actually slept through the night.

Sam's latest game is chasing us around the house. He can crawl so fast! And he loves to run. I will grab his hands and start running, and he will flail his legs like he's running on his own.

Sam took a bath all by himself for the first time. I think he really enjoyed it. He was crawling all around and pulling himself up.
