Olivia is pulling up, cruising, taking tiny little Frankenstein steps. And officially Into Everything. She is amazingly dexterous. She can take the top off of it, un-zip it, un-snap it, un-tie it...I have to come up with some new diversion for each diaper change as that has lately become the Activity Which Most Brings the Fury. I give her a chapstick and .68 seconds later, she's eating it. Yum, chapstick. Speaking of..."Eat, eat, EAT," is often heard in the house, sort of a half-query, half-command. Adorable. But it's no joke. That kid can eat. Yesterday I fed her a scrambled egg, a bowl of oatmeal (with wheat germ, yogurt, and blueberries), and half a banana before my mom made me stop. I was just going to see how much she would put away. (Kidding - I was only going to let her finish the banana.)
