What a fantastic day!

I would have to say that I think today has been one of the top five days I've had with Olivia. It was so much fun being with her! This morning she fell asleep on me (which she never does) and I just held her for a while. She started making a few new noises, doing crazy things with her tongue/mouth, and laughed quite a few times today. I feel like she has grown up alot in the past week. She is happier now, which is wonderful.
For the past 3 months every time I put Olivia on her tummy she screams. Since she screams when she is on her tummy, I usually do it right before she takes a nap. It makes her tired and then she falls asleep quickly after she is done on her tummy. However, yesterday I decided to start putting her on her tummy before she became tired. She surprised me with how much she could push up and she didn't cry! Today I tried it again. She pushed up, smiled, and then rolled over! I was so excited I didn't know what to do with myself!:) Over the last couple of weeks she has been trying to roll over from her back to her tummy. She almost has it, but she was always too worn out to try to roll from her tummy from her back. I should have been putting her on her tummy when she was alert and awake this entire time.
Before she rolled over today I was taking pictures of her pushing up. The second time she rolled over I was able to tape it. Anne and Grace came over right afterwards and I was telling them about her new trick. Then I put Livi down and she rolled over again. After that Anne put Grace down on the playmat and Grace looked like she was going to roll. We were so excited. All of the sudden Grace rolled over too! I captured Grace's second time rolling over also. I think it's pretty neat that they both rolled over on the same day. It's something I know Anne and I will never forget! It was fun to share in the excitement together. I'm sure it's only the first of many exciting things we will share over the years!:)



I was able to take these pictures of her as she rolled over for the first time. I didn't realize she was rolling over or I would have grabbed the video camera! The fourth picture was taken right before she rolled for the first time!
