Getting down to business

Some big new events have been going on in the Wipf house. Olivia is having some new tricks that are making mom and dad nervous.

1. Rolling over, at all hours - Olivia likes to roll all the time. We often find that when we lay her down to go to sleep, she'll roll to her side and stomach within the first 5 minutes. We're not really sure why she likes her stomach and side so much, but she does when she sleeps. She has started to roll freely also and stay on her stomach when we put her on the floor. Finally, she'll stay for more than 2 minutes without screaming
2. Crawling - Because Olivia spends more time on her stomach without screaming, she has started to show signs of crawling. She can use her legs to push herself forward. She hasn't figured out the use of the hands yet, so she's pushing all her weight as dead weight. But, none the less, soon she'll really cover ground.
3. Talking (like crazy) - Olivia has, since I returned from Tennessee last week, started to talk constantly. She will sit and just jabber, jabber, jabber and squeal and jabber, jabber, jabber. She had talked to us (in squeals) before, but now it's just a long drawn out jabber and it's actually kind of impressive.

Those are the big new events here. We just wait for the time once when she'll come crawling around the kitchen corner and shock us all.
