2 Month Check Up Tomorrow!! And I Sure Do Need It!!

Tomorrow is finally the day! I get to have my 2 month check up and I will finally have something new to report!!! ( I know you all are probably as excited as I am!) I will get weighed FINALLY and be measured from head to toe too! It's so weird now, because before I used to get my vital stats done daily sometimes even HOURLY, to go this long with out info really seems odd to me!! Oh well, on a sour note I will also be getting some shots tomorrow as well Yikes! :( But I handled my other set just fine, so I ain't worried! (Mom might be though!) And trying to calm down the mama is pretty tough just ask my daddy!! :)

As you can see above I am finally learning how to use my face and my tongue to make funny faces to make mommy and daddy laugh! I do this all the time after I get up from my nap because I am SOOOO happy to see my loved ones first thing! Big difference from before because I used to wake up to no one :( Or it was just a nurse or Dr. messing with me :( So as you see I am really loving life nowadays!

And this is me sitting up!! I JUST LOVE to sit up, mommy and daddy sit me up and I spend all my time just looking around at everything around me. I get to bounce and play with my legs too, daddy tries to get me to stand up, but ya that does not work too well just yet :( I'll figure it out soon though :) But in the mean time I have been trying to lift my body up to sit up! I can't quite do it yet but I know what I am doing and watch out now, because I am getting better at it! :)

Now I have not been happy at all this week :( Something is either wrong with my tummy or my mouth. I cry all the time and only am happy short amounts of time :( I could be teething... people say I am crazy and too young but who knows with me, I tend to do EVERYTHING either really early or really late! So hopefully when I get to the Dr. tomorrow they can tell me whats wrong :( Maybe they will finally move me off my preemie formula too! Maybe my tummy is just tired of the preemie stuff... Who knows but I sure am tired of keeping my mommy and daddy up all night :( I am sorry guys I am trying to sleep!!

Ah yes there is the happy baby you all know and love!! I can do really big smiles now you see!! :) I may sound conceited but I sure do look adorable don't I?? :) I even stuck my tongue out at daddy while he was trying to take the picture. hehehe it really made me laugh! Mommy and daddy have also found out I am ticklish! On my feet and my lower back it really makes me squirm when they tickle me there !!

Well as you can see above it is time for me to sleep! So everyone wish me the best for tomorrow and I will have a full report for you next week! This week went by really fast because I was not feeling too well, I pretty much stayed at home all week and just slept :( My daddies good friend Sam Bates came by to visit me for the first time but as you can see above that's about how social I was :( Sorry Sam maybe next time I will be feeling better :( Ok well its time for this sick preemie princess to get some shut eye, so again send me your good wishes for tomorrow and keep your fingers crossed for big girl formula :) I love you all and thank you as always for spending your time with me :)

Yep I fell asleep just now writing this blog :) Hahahaha Goodnight world!!!!

Bye Bye Everybody!!

All Smiles From This Growing Princess :)

Yes yet again another week has passed in this short life of mine thus far, and wow you guessed it nothing really new to report here... I did however spend most of the week like I usually spend my weeks, sleeping, eating, crying and sometimes smiling :) But as you can see above I have been smiling a WHOLE lot more lately. Everything just seems to make me very happy! And now I give my mommy all kinds of smiles daily! And what does she do you ask? She just smiles right back at me :) I may not know how to communicate just yet, but this smiling thing seems to be working pretty well. People smile at me and I smile right back at them! I love it!!

I also have been learning how to play a little game with daddy, He covers me up with a blanket over my feet, and within seconds I can kick that big ole blankie right off of me! Then he puts it back on me and boom there my feet go again kicking that thing right off me! It's pretty fun if you ask me, and it's about the closest thing to playing I can do at the moment. I can see toys in my bed but I just can't yet figure out how to grab them and shake them or throw them around. I will keep practicing though, because I really want to see what this whole playing with toys things is all about! I just need to learn how to control these arms and hands of mine, I move them a little bit then next thing you know I get whacked upside the head! Heck yesterday I whacked my self so hard that my little eye was watering all day :( I must have scratched myself or something :(

As the week went on I was doing very good at sleeping all throughout the night, (with the exception of last night) I only get up once now, and as usual mom or dad gets up feeds me then its either back to my crib or back to my swing. This week mommy and daddy had to rearrange my room to uncover the heater vent. I was getting pretty cold at night because it is now the cold season, and so something had to be done!! So they moved me to the other side of the room and let the heater vent do its job :) Now I am nice and toasty at night! Thanks Guys!!

I was pretty much home all week this week with Friday night being the exception, you see daddy left me for the night, and it was the first time ever since I have been home :( It was really sad, but he had to take my brother Jayce on his first boy scout camping trip, So I understand kinda .... Anyway I went with my momma that night over to visit my Grandma Rolene, whom I have not seen in such a long time!! (2 weeks is a VERY long time for me you see!!) Grandpa Gary was there too, and I had soo much fun visiting with all of them, and showing off my pretty smiles for them too! I sure can't wait to do it again either!! And after that is was just me and mommy for the rest of the night and most of Saturday too! Which was really fun we got lots on mama/princess bonding time :) On Saturday I went over to my Grandma Berta's house so she could watch me while mommy and daddy went out to dinner with some old friends :( I hate being left behind! But I was tired so I didn't mind it that much :) And Sunday it was just mama, daddy and I hanging out all together :) Like I said earlier not much new this week, but oh well I can't always be entertaining!!

Well in about 8 days I will have my "2 month" check up at the Dr's and I am sure I will have LOTS of news when that happens, so until then have a great week everyone, and make sure to check up on me next Monday for my weekly updates :) I love you all and thank you for spending your time with me, reading about my boring but fascinating life :)

Bye Bye Everybody!!

I Am Now 5 Months Old!! Yay!! Or Is It 2 Months???

 Well yet again what another wonderful week! First thing's first though, this post is gonna be a short one once again  because A. I have been really busy, B. Because I have been asleep a lot lately, and C. because there is really NOTHING new to talk about :( But alas that will not stop me from posting to all you fine people out there that just HAVE to read about my wonderful life!! Well as the title says this week I turned 5 months old birth age, but my adjusted age is only around 2 months old. So come to think of it, I don't know which one I would rather be, 5 whole months out in this big ole' world seems like nothing to me because I spent over half of it in the ICU, but hey lets face the facts, I entered this wonderful world 5 months ago due to my impatience, so I AM 5 MONTHS OLD!! Even though I have the body and mentality of a 2 month old :( Hey I guess I will just be small for my age for a while :) But when I get older and WANT to hide my age I am sure I will want those 3 months back :) But on a side note I have been growing OUT OF CONTROL lately! My tummy is getting HUGE from all my food intake, my clothes are starting to get very tight on me, and I am already starting to wear 3 months - 6 months sizes, so I am already getting bigger than my adjusted age!! And in 2 weeks I will have proof too, because that is my 2 month check up at the Dr, or is it my 5 month check up?? Oye I'm so confused!! So are mommy and daddy too, because every time anyone ever asks how old I am I tend to hear different answers every time!! Just last week I think daddy said I was 6 months old! Oye I think that 3 months stay in the hospital has confused everyone! Well the easy solution to this is just look at how long this blog has been going (5 months) and then BOOM You know my age :) 

 Now  like I said earlier, in 2 weeks I have my Dr appointment  on the 30th, and I will finally get weighed again, and my guess is that I weight close to 13 pounds now, and I am prob close to 26 inches long. Which is REALLY LONG for a "2 month old" Just this past week daddy had to buy me a 6 month old coat just to fit my crazy length! Heck I think I am just might be average length for a 5 month old! So again I may be 5 months old or 2 months old, just depends on how you look at it, but my birthday party BETTER be on May 11th! and not August 17th! I aint waiting that long for my special day!!! And sheesh come to think of it that is only 7 months away! Crazy how time flies!

Well this week sure flew by! I still have not felt 100% health wise, but I think I am getting better now. I threw up an awful lot this week though, about twice a day all week I think! And no one can figure out why! And we cant change my food until the Dr's clear's me to do so, so who knows what the problem is :( I think  I am just eating too much and my tummy reaches its full limit and then out comes the extra food! I am now eating just about every hour! Mostly "snacking" but sometimes its a full 120 ML Bottle! Maybe I need to slow my self down, but I just LOVE the formula! After that 6 weeks of not eating early in my life, and all my bottle trouble at 3 months I am just catching up for missed feedings from earlier :) 

I am now also becoming a pro and staying asleep at night too! Only once this week did I wake up more than once (Saturday Night... what a rough night...yikes!) and 4 different times I didn't even wake up at all!! I head to bed every night around 8 and I am OUT till 5:30 am (give or take 30 minutes) when mommy and daddy get up for work :) So it works out perfectly for them and for me! During the day I take  a couple cat naps here and there, and the rest of the time I am keeping Grandma Berta and Auntie Sarah on their toes as they bow down to my every whim! It's really nice to have servants at such a young age!! :) (Just kidding guys I know you do because you love me, and I sure do love you!) Then as usual daddy gets home, holds me, plays with me, then I fall asleep again and wake up to mommy getting home. Then its mommy time, and shortly after then its bed time :( Oye I hate bed time :( Maybe that's why I get cranky mom! And about my crankiness, it did not seem to go away this week either :(, I don't know what it is, but I sure love the sound of my own voice SCREAMING  and I JUST HAVE to be held at all times!! But then I realize that I just cant be held all the time, so I get sad and cry :( I guess I will just have to get over it and move on :( Oh Well. 

This week I also starting noticing a lot more things around me. Especially my hands and toes, I realized that I can kick off just about any blanket on me with my feet, and I can chew on my hands whenever I want, and I can slap at blankets and bottles too! (Sometimes I get over zealous and slap myself though) Oye! I am much more active now than I was before because I am just now realizing what all these little body parts of mine can do! When I am in my bassinet I still stare off into the big shiny lights above me, but now I am also noticing the stuff right in front of my face, like the toys hanging above me, I just love looking at those! Pretty soon I will learn how to slap those things around..... Cant wait for that! I can stay in here sometimes for hours and just stare at things :) It's my favorite thing to do! :)

Well like I said there really was not much new news for this week. But during the weekend though Auntie Jade did come over to watch me while mommy and daddy were at the Seahawk's game, and then on Saturday my brothers and sister were making pumpkins for Halloween! And I couldn't do anything but lay there and watch them have all the fun :( Maybe next year I will have my chance to be creative too! My Auntie Krista also came by on Saturday with Brookie and Jesten so they could visit  and do pumpkins as well :) That made me very happy to see them again too! Other than that it was business as usual, l Eat, Sleep, Cry, and sometimes Smile :) I did start to smile a WHOLE lot more this week, probably about 10 times a day now!! And yes I do smile at mommy now too! :)

Well It's time for me to wrap this puppy up, I am tired and its time for bed of course, So I will see you all next week! And let's see what trouble I can get into for this week :) Hehehe I love you all and as always thank you for spending your time with me :) It's nighty night time!

Goodbye!!!!!! :)

Starting to Smile More:), SLEEP More :), AND CRY MORE!! :(

Another week has passed, and I can honestly say I am still loving life! I have people that answer to my every whim, feed me whenever I am hungry, talk to me when I am bored, bathe me when I stink, cuddle me when I am cold or sad, and even wipe up my poopy butt! And this is all because I am the superstar Olivia Remy Vannoy! I do what I want, and I get what I want!! WHENEVER I WANT!! Hahaha! Ok I'm just joking (to an extent) but either way you look at it I have a GREAT LIFE! Mostly because of the great people I have around me at all times! I have been a real pain in the butt lately because of my constant cries for attention or more food, or just crying to cry, but everyone is still super patient with me :) Thank you all! It won't always be like this, I just want a lot of attention all the time because I am bored and hey I LOVE the attention! So hang with me guys, once I figure out how to play with toys I will be much happier :) On a happier note (especially for mommy and daddy!) I have been sleeping well over 8 hours at night, and I have been eating a WHOLE lot more too, so by the time I have my next Dr. Appointment this month I am hoping to be almost 12 pounds :) Now on to the weekly news!

Monday

Well today was a day of rest for EVERYBODY even me, especially after the long weekend of moving Grandma to her new apartment! I didn't have a great night last night at all :( I was up ALL night making noises, and I was not even hungry, just wanted attention :( and Everyone was asleep, (Or at least trying to ) So mommy and daddy got no rest, again :( I'm sorry guys I just still get confused sometimes and I missed you! All weekend it seemed as if you were gone and I just wanted some time with you guys!! And as for the rest of the day...... I was asleep ALL DAY :( Oye Hopefully I have a better night tonight!

 Tuesday

Well last night marks the first night EVER that I didn't wake up!! I slept through the WHOLE NIGHT!! ( I knew I had it in me!) And that pretty much made me stay up all day today for grandma and Sarah! And I was awake for mommy and daddy too! They all played with me today and this was such a great day for everyone! BUT I think I might be getting sick again ! :( I am being pretty fussy lately when it comes to eating and I pretty much am just snacking and spitting it up right after :( Oh well, lets hope for another good night for me and that I am not sick!!!

Wednesday

Well it was not a perfect night but it sure was not a bad night! I only woke up once for mommy and she got me some bottle, and then I woke up when daddy was taking his shower. So all in all it was a good night :) Mommy had to meet her special friend today so it was just daddy and me today once he got home! We went to the store with Alexis and she picked out her Halloween costume and then we went to Jayce's boyscout meeting, which was kinda boring for a preemie princess, but hey I can't complain I got to bounce on daddies knee the whole time :) Now I am REALLY envious of Alexis and her costume, she gets to be a princess!! UGH I AM THE PRINCESS NOW!!! Hehehe Just kidding sis, you can have ONE day a year :) Well mommy is getting home and it's time for bed, but before I forget it's mommy and daddies anniversary today of the first day they ever met!! And this is a HUGE day for me because obviously I would not be here if it was not for that!! So HAPPY ANNIVERSARY GUYS!!! I love you both so much!!

 Thursday

Here you can see me sleeping while daddy was trying to get me to take a picture :( Sorry pop's but after being up with Grandma Berta all day I need a nap! Not much new today other than I had another GREAT night only waking up once for daddy! And I am starting to figure out how to smile at people! Today I smiled at Grandma Berta twice!! And later in the day after my nap I gave a big all goofy smile for daddy! Of course mommy missed out on all the action but maybe tomorrow :)

Friday
Had a GREAT night ONCE AGAIN! Again only got up once last night, and Daddy got me up and let me sleep with him for an hour before work :) Loved the cuddles daddy! Mommies new trick to getting me to sleep at night is my good ole swing. She get's me in there and I just swing away until I fall asleep, it has been working wonders! Later in the day once daddy got home I decided to be REALLY cranky and let daddy have it for over 3 HOURS!! I would not stop crying or flailing around!! And I don't even know why! :( Daddy held it together though and once mommy got home it was off to the mama for comforting. I was just really sleepy I think, but once mommy got me wrapped up I fell right asleep almost instantly :) On a happier note I smiled again for daddy while looking at him :) I think I am starting to notice all the wonderful people around me who take care of me and yes that makes me smile :)

 Saturday
I had an ok night last night, I got up a couple times, but I did go to bed earlier than normal so I think it just evens itself out! Today we went to Grandpa Andy's house to fix his computer! BUT he was not there!! :( BUT Grandma Debbie, Auntie Vicki and Cousin Sammie were there though!! So I visited with all of them while daddy was doing his thing :) Grandma and Grandpa got me a whole bunch of bottles for me to use when I get a little bit bigger, and they also got me a DUCKY Costume!! It's big and Yellow and I love it!! Now I have two Halloween costumes so now I need to decided which one to wear... Hmmmm maybe I'll just wear both :) I will decide later! After all our visiting we headed back home so I could take a nap, but then Grandpa called and ordered us back over there for dinner! (He just HAD to see me you see!) So we went back over there and he got to hold me and see me hold my big head up high! I am now a pro at that! (in case you didn't know) I can now sit on my butt while someone holds me up and just stare off into the world :) And yes staring at ceiling lights still is my favorite thing :) Well thank you Grandpa and Grandma for having me over! And thank you very much for the costume!! Oh and before I forget I SMILED FOR MY MOMMY TODAY!!! :) I told you I would do it mama!! :) I love you so!

Sunday
Oh yes its game day! I have my Seahawks gear on and I ready to go! Today we went over to God Mama Amber's house to see the game with God Papa Chad! You know what, after looking at myself in this picture I notice something missing.... can you guess what it is?? YES IT'S MY HAIR!!! Oye Karma got the best of me from all the those months on making fun of my cousin's lacking dew and now mine is falling out! :( And what is coming back in its place it strawberry blonde! Oye I might become a redhead after all! Anyways I had a very lovely day over there and my god mommy held me the ENTIRE time! And as you could imagine I LOVED ALL THAT ATTENTION!! And oh boy did I eat a whole lot! While everyone else was eating sliders and chips I was chowing down on over 6 ounces of bottle! :) I feel a growth spurt coming on! Thanks for having us over guys!! Love you guys sooo much!!! Later in the day brother and sister came home, and Auntie Jade got to visit with me for a bit and hold me too! Ah it sure was a fun week, it may seem boring to you guys but trust me considering where I was just two months ago this is amazing :) Well send me some good wishes for another good week of sleeping and eating! And maybe less crabbiness and more smiles :) I love you all and I will catch you all next Monday!! :) 

Bye Bye Everybody!! Livi Love's you all!! :)

Lots of Food & Lot's of Growing for Me!!

 Well this week certainly flew right by! So much so that I did not even have time to take notes on what I did through out the week, so I will just give you all the highlights from the week! On Monday mommy and daddy went to the football game after work, so I barely even got to see them :( My auntie Sarah came over and watched me for the day/night until they got home around nine. I was pretty tired when they got back, but they did spend time with me, by holding me and trying to get me to wake up and smile :) I pretty much was not having it, so I ate from my bottle and it was off to sleep!

 Now I have been sleeping some what better throughout the night as of late, I tend to wake up 1-2 times, always around the same times of 11-12pm and 3-4am. I wake up cry a little bit and then poof here comes mommy or daddy with a fresh warm bottle and arms to cuddle me with :) At night I still am using my halo blanket/pajamas because I STILL tend to smack myself in the face at night and especially when I am trying to eat. I just feel so much better when I am wrapped in it :) Who knows how long my addiction to the Halo will last but for now I love it! Lets hope I don't outgrow it anytime soon! (Because I seem to be out growing EVERYTHING LATELY!!!)

Tuesday through Thursday was pretty much the same routines once again, I wake up with mommy while daddy leaves for work, then mommy changes me, feeds me, then hands me off to Grandma Berta for the day. I sleep until about 11-Noonish everyday and after that I am pretty much awake for the rest of the day!! I have been eating a LOT lately too! I have been going through a can of formula about every 3 days or so now, and mommy and daddy are sure having a tough time finding my special Preemie formula! Every time they go to buy me some more there is only 1 or 2 can's left! And these are all the small can's so they don't last too long! Hopefully soon I can upgrade to the normal baby formula, but for now I still need my extra calories! Even though I have not been weighed in over a month I have good idea how big I have gotten, that is because mommy stepped on a scale with and with out me and it was almost a difference of 11 pounds! Now I know this is not a 100% fact but its close to what I think I might be at :) Once daddy gets home its daddy and Olivia time and we just hang out and do lots of fun things! We cuddle, watch some TV, talk to each other in baby talk, and other fun stuff like that. He has been trying to get me to go on my tummy lately so I can learn to turn over but I still don't quite get it yet but I think I am getting closer :) Though I can sure lift my head up like a pro now! And I think I have pretty much found my hands too because I cannot stop chewing on them!! Now obviously I don't have teeth yet, so it does not hurt. But I hope I remember to not bite down so hard once I have teeth or else I wont have anymore fingers!! Anyways after my daddy time is through I usually fall asleep until mommy gets home and then I get my mommy time! She is always trying to get me to stare at her and smile, but I just cant stay focused there is just sooooo many wonderful things to stare at! Like light bulbs! I LOVE staring into the bright lights! I am just getting myself used to the spotlights I'll be under once I get older you see !! :) And the whole smiling thing, I haven't yet really figured that one out yet either :( Trust me though I am smiling on the inside all the time but it never quite shows itself on my face :( But never fear mommy I do love you and you make me smile! And once I figure out how to smile on command you will know for sure!! :) But for now this is how you make me feel (See Below!)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Just kidding mama!! Well as you can probably tell nothing really happened this week, no new achievements, no mile stones just eating and sleeping and growing and annoying mommy and daddy :) And most of these weeks will probably be like this so I hope none of you mind reading all my mindless babble because this is all the material I got!! :) As for the past weekend, I spent most of it with my god mommy Amber who watched me (Thank You so much God mommy Amber!! I LOVED our princess time!!) and With my Grandma Berta who watched me while everyone else was moving my grandma to her new house!! Sorry grandma I wish I could have helped but heck I can't even feed myself yet!! Now on a side note I had a REALLY bad night last night because I kept waking up and for no reason what so ever! I'm sorry mama!! BUT the night before I went to sleep at 9pm and did not wake up till almost 5 am!! That's HUGE for me!! So ya some nights are REALLY good and others not so much :( Oh well I am getting better at this :) SO this week I am gonna work on my smiling for mama, and my nighttime habits, so wish me luck everybody!! As for now I am off to sleep! And before I forget, it was my Grammies birthday last week so I have to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRAMMIE!!! I love you and I hope you had a blast!! :) And with that I will see you all next week !! :) Oh and here is another photo from last weeks photo shoot :)

Mommy and Daddy sure do make me happy :) Goodbye World!!
