Swinging Slobber Baby Going to the Dr Tomorrow!

Hello everyone! How was your week? Mine was very quiet and I got lots of time to just relax and hang out with my family, and of course drive them up a wall at night time!! My transition from my swing to my crib full time has been rough on me because I just LOVE to swing, but I am too big for it and I am afraid that after last night it may not even work anymore :( Last night was a rough one I couldn't sleep longer than a couple hours and I ended up having 4 bottles last night!!! That's CRAZY even for me, and it all went really bad once the swing stopped working altogether :( You see my mommy has been weening me off the swing by starting me in it to fall asleep then daddy would move me to the crib, but last night I was not gonna have it! I made them move me back to my lovely swing and shortly after, it went kaput :( Now I doubt that I can talk them into getting me a new one so I suppose this baby's days of swinging have come to a very abrupt end :( 

 RIP Swing you will be sorely missed... You were my greatest toy/friend :(.....

On to other news besides the tragic end of my Swing I have been slobbering A LOT lately! Now this could be because of many reasons. Maybe I am FINALLY teething!! Or maybe I am just eager to start eating real food that I cant stop salivating!! Or maybe I just like to slobber all over my face and pretty clothes!! I honestly don't know but my mouth has become a runny faucet lately!! Heck the only way for grandma Berta to save my clothes during the day is to keep a bib on me all day long!! I have also been sticking my tongue out at people too! And when I blow with my tongue out it makes a cool noise that makes my cheeks shake!! I saw mama do it back to me once so I figured I would give it a try! Its mighty fun stuff let me tell you! Especially while I am drooling cause then daddy will get sprayed with all my slobber!! Its quite funny actually :) Maybe all this slobber will lead to a tooth eventually...Here's Hoping!

As stated in the blog title tomorrow I have my next synagis appointment :( Yep that means a whole lot more shots to get stuck in my poor little leg :( BUT the good news is that they may finally lift my food ban and let me TRY some food for once!! I bet I will be sleeping through the night in no time once that happens ! I am SUPER excited for that possibility! Cause personally drinking like a gallon of formula everyday is getting really old and starting to make me look really pudgy!! And I NEED some variety in life! So keep your fingers crossed guys and let's hope for the best :)

And now unfortunately its about that time once again to call it a night. Hopefully tonight I have a much better night so my mommy and daddy don't disown me :( It was pretty bad :( Sorry guys :( And it will also be my first night without my wonderful swing friend.... So long dear friend I hope I am able to make it without you :( I hope you all have a wonderful week and I will let you all know about my Dr's appointment next week!! Love you all and Goodbye!

More Donations and a Special Visitor!!

Hello everybody! How was your guy's week?? Mine was awesome as usual! Nothing really new to report on my end just the same ole sleeping, playing, and eating :) I still am trying really hard to sit up and keep my balance, I am getting better at it but not quite there just yet :( I am getting to the point that I really don't like laying on my back anymore, I just LOVE to be held upright so I can see the world, so once I can figure this out on my own I am sure to be a happy baby!

As you can see above I am playing my toy tablet that I am OBSESSED with!! I just can't get enough of the fun noises it makes and all the pretty lights!! In fact every picture on this blog I think I have it with me! Anyways now let me tell you where we're at with the March Of Dimes March for Babies. We are now 103 days away from the march and we are at 220 dollars! So only 1780 dollars to go!! Way to go guys!! And a HUGE thank you to my Great Grandparents from the east coast for their amazing donation of 100 dollars!!!! That's awesome thank you soooo much!!! Now I forgot to tell you last week whom else has donated so I could thank them personally! My Auntie Lorrie, and my Auntie Vicki's friend Jordan!! Thank You both SOOOOO much for helping support all preemies and their mommies, makes me feel sooo happy knowing you all are making a difference :) Now if you too would like to help out be sure to click my pretty face below at the end of this blog :) You can see who all is on Team Olivia and other fun stuff about our March for Babies. Thanks again guys!! :)

Later in the week we had some visitors too!! First of all my good friend Sam came over to spend time with me!! This was one of the first times in a LONG time she was free to come and see me since I got out of the hospital, so she did just that and we had loads of fun!! She spent the whole time playing with me and loving on me :) But eventually she wore me out with all out fun and I had to go to sleep :( Oye you better come back to see me soon Sam!! And tell Heighlee to get better soon so she can come over and play with me :) Love you Sam and thanks for coming by :) Now on Sunday we had one of our Awesome football parties again!! The god parents Amber and Chad came over as did Jade, and Brian and Jordyn! Again just like last week daddy spent the whole day sad cause all his teams lost :( I am beginning to think he is bad luck when he roots for teams!! At least that's what my god parents say!!! Hehehe! I had loads of fun spending my time with Jade and Amber!! I got held and played with the whole time!! Even Brian held me and played with me :) It's gonna be really sad when football is over!! My Sundays are gonna be really quiet! Oh well I will just enjoy it while it lasts!!

Here you can see my sister playing with me :) She brought me all my toys and I look a bit overwhelmed!! Oh and look its my baby tablet again! My favorite toy!! Well its about that time again guys! Time for me to go night night time and for you all to go back to your lives!! Just know I love you all and again thank you to all of you that have pledged for the March for Babies Team Olivia! Those preemies will sure appreciate it later!! Have a great week everybody and I will see you all soon :) Bye bye!!

March For Babies Time !!! & More Football !!!

Hello everyone! How was your week?? Mine has been good. As you can see above I am hard at work on the next entry to my blog :) (Actually dad is just playing around on twitter and I am waiting for my turn!!) Nothing much new to report here just the same ole some ole! I am starting to realize that the life of a baby is pretty much sleeping, eating, playing, smiling and crying! And I do A LOT of all the above!! I am getting better at night as of late, I have only really been waking up near 4-5 am, which is around the time daddy has to get up for work anyway, so it kinda works out for everyone :) I am his little alarm clock :) Mommy has been pushing me more to do my tummy time, and ya I pretty much still hate it!! I try though and I give it a good 2 min before I lose it and hysterically cry out loud for it to stop!! I am also getting real tired of just laying around on my back too, lately I have been wanting people to hold me upright so I can see everything around me. And if you dare try to lay me down I lose it!! I can't wait till I am able to sit up right on my own :) I try to do it myself, but I only get about half way up then I come tumbling back down to earth :( Oye and when I do get propped up I cant keep my balance too well and I just end up just toppling over anyway :( Hopefully I can figure that out soon! Now crawling on the other hand I am no where close to doing :( Mostly because I HATE tummy time and I never give myself a chance to even go through the motions of TRYING to crawl... I think I may be be walking before I actually crawl!! Lastly I still have no teeth :( I may be teething though... I don't really know yet but my mouth seems to always hurt and I sure do drool a lot... SO much so that Grandma has to keep a bib on me all the time so I don't wreck all my pretty clothes that I get to wear. Maybe a tooth will pop out in the next couple weeks, who knows!
 
Now if you haven't figure it out yet, I just turned 8 months old last week! AKA 5 months old adjusted. Still is crazy to think that just 5 months ago I was in my plastic box fighting to get home! Then it got me thinking, there were soooo many other babies there with me and other parents like my own that came in everyday to keep their babies happy that maybe I should do something super special for all the new preemies and make them feel the love that I received all the time :) But what do I do? I remembered just then of this institution called the March of Dimes that helps mothers have full term babies and also does studies on things that cause premature births. They raise money to help babies like myself get healthy and get home as quickly as possible too! Also they help health care providers better support their babies when we do end up in the NICU and ICU. In other words this is a VERY important organization that is fighting to help and prevent premature babies all around the world :)

 Did you know 1 out of every 8 babies are born prematurely like myself? That is a crazy statistic!! And most babies that are born this early have serious health problems... They are here to prevent all premature births through research so no other babies ever have to go though what i did :) So after saying ALL of this I need help from you ladies and gentlemen. My mother and god mother have formed a team of people that will walk in my name for the March for Babies which is sponsored by the March of Dimes!! How cool is that!! They do this walk to help spread awareness of the March of Dimes Association and provide support for all the other preemies that need our help. The walk will be on May 4th at 9 am. Now we only have 110 days left to reach our goal of 2,000 dollars and currently we are 1900 short! Now my mommy just started this so we all have lot's of time here, so please if you would like to donate, or join our walk, or even just see what all of this is about please visit Team Olivia Vannoy! (Just Click The Pink Letters!!) I will update our progress weekly on here in hopes that we reach our donation goal :) Now remember funds raised for the March for Babies support research and programs that help moms have full-term pregnancies and help babies begin healthy lives. And they will be used to bring comfort and information to families with a baby in newborn intensive care. This is a very good cause people so please spread the word :) And Thank You!
 
 Now as for the rest of the week, we had everyone over again on Sunday to watch another THRILLING Seahawks game!! The whole gang was there too! God parents Amber and Chad, Auntie Vicki and Cousin Sammi, Jade and Jordyn, Brian and Kalia with Peyton too! It was another fun day of getting loving's from everyone there too!! And Everything was SUPER fun until...... we lost :( Yep it was my first experience of watching poor ole daddy deal with a loss from his favorite team... He took it pretty tough, but I was there to cheer him up of course :) I had so much fun these past weeks with everyone in the family getting together to root on the Hawks!! It's gonna be sad to see it end :( Guess everyone will just have to come over for something besides football from now on! Hey How about to just see me!!! :) Thank you all for coming I really had a lot of fun, and like always I cant get enough of all the attention and loving I get from all of you :) I love you guys!! 

 And now its about that time to say goodbye for now :) Its been a fun week and thank you to all of you that were apart of it :) Remember to visit my team page for the March for Babies! Here is the link again in case you forgot to click it before. Just Click on my Pretty Picture below and magically you will be sent away to my team page :) OH and I also put in a countdown to the day of our walk on the top right of this page :) I love you all and have a great week!! :)

Nice Queit Week... Then SUNDAY Happened! :)

Hello everybody! Well I am finally back to my normal blog schedule after all the madness in the last 2 weeks. And after all that craziness it's nice to have things back to normal :) The last 2 weeks brother and sister were out of school for winter break, so it was pretty fun having them around me all day everyday, but today they went back to school and that was kinda sad :( Oh well just more Grandma and Livi time :) This week went by very quickly. Lots of extra sleep and play time :) Oh and Auntie Krista came by on Saturday to give me my Christmas presents :) I got a glow worm and some VERY pretty clothes :) Thank you sooooo much Krista I LOVE THEM!!! The clothes are 9 month sizes too because I am already starting to out grow my 6 months clothes!!! Can you believe that!! Crazy how quickly I am growing now huh!! Other than all of that no real news at all just the same ole same ole for me :)

Here you can see me getting my tummy time on! Yes those elusive toys in front of me I try to get but I never succeed :( This crawling thing is gonna take some work! And ya I don't think I am any where close to ready either. I can't even keep my head up longer than a couple minutes, then I get frustrated Yell and scream and try to turn over. Ya pretty much I hate tummy time, but everyone keeps forcing me to do it! Maybe I will like it better when I learn how to hold myself up better but until then I HATE IT!!! :)

Now you see here, this I do LOVE!! I just can't get enough of beating on that keyboard and making me some fancy music!! I also love the little mirror hanging above my head because I get to see myself smile!! And that in fact makes me smile back at myself! It's a never ending cycle :) Now this toy I can just lay here for a long time and just play :) It's very fun you all should get one for yourself!! :)

 Now Sunday came around and it was game day!! Yes my beloved Seahawks were playing in the playoffs and I had to steal my daddies hat for the game!! (See above!) And EVERYONE came over to watch the game with me!! Auntie Vicki, Uncle Terry, Cousin Sammi, Cousin Matti, Jade, Jordyn, Brian, Kalia, God Mommy Amber & God Dad Chad too!!! Now the game didn't start off too well, but we recovered and so did my daddy! You see he was pretty upset in the beginning and was very quiet... which if you know my daddy is not a good sign! Then we Scored!! And he got soooo happy he screamed and jumped! And it almost scared me to tears!!!! He gets really loud and festive when we do good you see :) Ah yes but eventually we won and this Seahawks baby has another game to watch next weekend!! Thank You guys for all coming over and spending the day with me :) Can't wait to see you all next weekend!! It was really fun!!! :)

And yes after the long day that was yesterday I am a tired baby!! I know this is pretty short but when nothing new is going on it's hard to entertain you guys :) So you will just have to hope I do something new and amazing for next week :)
