Happy New Year!!! & It's Christmas Time Part 2!!

Hello Everyone! Well I have sure do have a lot to talk about today, mostly because I still owe you guy’s part 2 of the Christmas blog, and A LOT has gone on in the last 2 days, and that's why you all had to wait! So I'm sorry guys but I wanted to get everything in this post here! But FIRST THINGS FIRST! Look above, notice anything different about me?? And NO it’s not the fact I still don't have hair, it’s my EARS!!! Look at them! YES I GOT EAR RINGS IN!!! YAY! My sister and I both got Christmas Gift cards to Clair's to go get them pierced, Alexis went first and then I did! She cried just a little (after they had to trick her into getting them done) and ya I pretty much yelled for a good 3 min afterwards, but I am COMPLETELY over it now!! So how does it look guys?? I sure do LOVE IT! And I'm happier we got it done now because I will NEVER remember this anyway!! And it really beats what Alexis had to go through! I glad that is over now, and now my sister and I are even PRETTIER than we were before!!! :) Now yesterday I had my Dr's appointment and this time mommy got to take me! (Daddy had to work) They gave me my dreaded synergies shot UGH!! And 2 of them!! And I still have to go three more times every month UGH! And 2 shots EACH TIME!!! Anyways I cried the whole time I was there because I was cranky and tired and being shot in the leg twice sure did not help matters at all. But soon after the shots I fell right asleep and completely forgot about the horrors at the Dr's office! And YES I got weighed too and now I am 15 pounds 2 ounces!!! Holy cow I am getting big! I have already doubled my weight almost since I got released!!! Also yesterday was New Years Eve and I got to go over to my God Parents house with mommy and daddy to ring in the New Year! And of course I missed it! I was asleep at 8 o'clock so yeah no fireworks show for me :( Oh well maybe next year! So yes quiet a busy 2 days and now maybe I can rest the rest of the week!!! Other than all of that there is nothing really new to report so I'll just finish up with my Christmas Story Part 2!! :)

Now this is where I left you guys last week with me looking like the stay-puff marshmallow baby, so let’s continue. Now last Monday was Christmas Eve, and Jayce, Alexis AND Preston all had left to go with their other families for the day so it was just Mommy, Daddy and I. So we decided it would be fun to spend Christmas Eve with Grandma Berta, Uncle Joey, Auntie Sarah, and Uncle Seth!! And it sure was fun because I was the star of the show getting to open all my presents first!! Grandma made some amazing smelling dinner for everyone BUT me and then it was on to opening up my gifts! (AKA Mom open's them and I get to watch!)

Look at that! It’s a night time bear that plays be music to sleep by, which beats the heck out of falling asleep to CNN every night! (Ya that jab was aimed at you daddy!) I love it!! It's almost half my size too so I can snuggle with it for years to come!! Thank You Auntie Sarah & Uncle Seth!!

 Here I got some fun looking toys from my uncle Joey! First there is a little computer like tablet thingy that will make me super smart! And some animals in the forms of shapes that I put into a tray!! Super Fun!!!  Can't wait to try that stuff once I get big enough to even understand how to use it!!! Soon enough I will though :) Thank you Uncle Joey!!!

 And oh my GOSH!! Would you look at that it’s a piano I can play with my FEET! I just LOVE stomping my feet and now I can her music every time I do!! My Grandma Berta got me that wonderful thing! I can lay on it and whack around the dangly toy's with my hands and then beat on the keyboard with my feets to make beautiful music!!! I certainly will have lots of fun with this!! :) Thank you Grandma Berta!

And would you look at that! It's my very own Christmas ornament for 2012!! They are little reindeer booties with my name on it!!! Thank You Grandma! They are Awesome! Hopefully next year I will be big enough to put them on the tree all by myself!!

I spent the rest of the night just hanging out and watching all the adults open up there presents. :) Everyone sure did get A LOT of cool things! Like my daddy he got a printer to print out pictures of ME of course!! I had a super fine time! Thank you Grandma Berta, Joey, Sarah & Seth I love you very much! 

Oh yes Today is CHRISTMAS DAY!! Now I heard rumors from my brothers and sister of a Jolly old Man wearing a red suit that would come down our chimney and bring us presents for being good boys and girls! Now at first it seemed a little farfetched but low and behold it happened!! I woke up and there were presents EVERYWHERE! Even in my stocking! Holy cow this is awesome! I thought for sure all those long nights I put the mommy & daddy through were going to come back to haunt me and stick me right at the TOP of the naughty list, but it didn't!!! I must have done something good between birth and now to deserve all of this :) Thank You Santa!! Now I was the only kid there so I had to wait for my brothers and sister to get home, but once they did it was PRESENT TIME AGAIN! My Grandma Rolene and Grampie Gary even came by to share in on all the fun! Oh and Auntie Jade too! But sadly I have no pictures other than the one above wearing my new stylish hat! Daddy took pictures of EVERYONE else but me!! What Gives!! It's ok though he has taken thousands of pictures of me this year, and it's time everyone else got some camera love :) Like I said before I got this VERY pretty hat that I can wear during these cold months that my Grammie made for me :) I LOVE IT Thank you SOOOOO Much!! I may look a little crabby in the picture, but that was because I was getting tired and needed my nap :) Everyone else spent the whole morning opening up their gifts and as usual mama helped me open mine :) I got my Ear Piercing Gift Card, some pretty Ear Rings, a toy airplane that sings to me, and a steering wheel that makes me think I am a race car driver!! All VERY fun stuff!! Now I am just so over whelmed with all my new fun things to do I don't know what to do first!! :) Even my special relatives from back east (Remember the one's from back in July whom all flew out from Philadelphia just to see me!!) GOT ME A PRESENT!! It got sent in the mail and it was two BEAUTIFUL outfits!!! Thank you guys for thinking of little ole me :) I love it!!! And Of course thank you to Grammie & Pappi, Mom & Dad, and Brother's & Sister. You really all made today special for me :) I really did not need gifts at all just the thought of having all my loved ones around me all the time is gift enough for little ole me :) Now this is the season of giving (from what I heard) and I may not have much to give you all in return (other than this blog) but I will give you all my love all the time and forever :) And maybe a laugh and a few smile as well :) So again thank you all for everything you have done and continue to do for me, even if you all think it is not much, trust me it means the world to me and my parents just to know you all are thinking about me and loving me :) Thank You :)

Now as for the rest of the day we went BACK over the grandma Berta's house so the other kids could open up there presents from her. I just watched and enjoyed the show :) BUT Grandma just had to get a picture with her and all her Grand kids so here you go Grandma See Below!

Such a Happy group all we are :) Again thank you all for being patient with me when it comes to this blog, I can't say it will never be late again, but I will be sure to let you know if it's going to be late :) I love you all, and I hope everyone reading this had as great a Christmas and New Year as I did. Family and Friends like you all is the most wonderful thing I could have ever hoped for coming into this world as early as I did. So I a bid you farewell 2012 and Welcome you in 2013! Lots of big things are in store for me this year! Lots of first's too! Hopefully I will be healthy and happy and stay as FAR away from the hospital as I can!! I am home now and there is no place in the world that I would rather be :)

I love you all and see you next week :)

  

Olivia's First Christmas!! :) And What a JOY It Was !!

Hello everybody! Your festive holiday preemie Angel is here to FINALLY tell you all about my WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS! Now as you can see above I was already in the festive holiday spirit by showing off my awesome winter coat my Grandpa and Grandma Moisio got me! But lets get down to business, First of all I am still the cranky lil baby you all know and love. Yes I'm still driving mom up the walls at night and making daddy want to sleep in the garage. Yes I may be almost 8 months now, but I STILL can't and WON'T sleep through the night!! (Unless someone else is watching me of course!) Anyways, I have a Dr's appointment on Monday for my next shot :( and besides all of that, it pretty much is the same as it always is :) I will add though, I am absolutely LOVING laying on the ground and watching the pretty lights of the TV and use my feet to kick dad's stuff around all the time :) I am also attempting to try and sit up, but that is not working out too well :( Oh well, I will get it, you will see!! Ok, now for the good part ON TO MY CHRISTMAS STORIES!!!!

First on my Christmas family tour was my Daddies Aunties house. She is of course the one and only Auntie Patty! Now my Uncle Steve had to work so he had to miss seeing me :( but I am sure I will see him soon :) My daddies cousins were there as well and wouldn't you know it, they happen to be one of the FEW family members I have NEVER met!! So exciting!! But for starters, if you look above you will see that is Auntie Patty holding me and that is my Daddies Cousin Ed's son Conner! Got that? Kinda confusing I know, so I will just call him 3rd Cousin Conner! :) He got to meet me for the first time too!! And now we get to meet my Cousin Ed! See Below!

As you can tell he was obliviously VERY happy to meet me finally and as was I! I may not look all that excited here but those big arms of his gave me quite the loving squeeze!! Now My cousin Tom was behind him, but like myself, Ed decided to hog all the spot light so I will have to show you ANOTHER photo for you to meet cousin Tommy! See Below!

Yep here he his holding me for the first time!! Such a nice guy he was too! :) Oh and yes you can see my Auntie petting my lack of hair too :) (Don't worry guys the hair is GROWING) Anyways Christmas with the family was VERY fun. We all don't get to see each other that often, so we all took advantage of that time together with spending it by visiting and everyone getting a little one on one time with Miss Preemie Princess :) Afterwards everyone got to eat lunch/dinner and you know what I GOT TO EAT!!! Ya that's right formula..... Ugh... Anyways, after everyone got done eating (and I got done watching them eat) It was PRESENT TIME!!! :)

Now I will have A LOT of pictures from here on out, so I will be keeping the caption's short when it comes to pic's of my MANY presents! But as you can see above here, this is a VERY PRETTY purple Jacket(Go DAWGS!) Oh look and matching pants!! Very SOFT too!! I LOVE IT!!

And would you look at that! BATH TOYS!! Some Stacking cups to play with, and splash water out of the tub with, and some fun little animal floating thingies that I can chew on and throw out of the tub and into the toilet to make daddy go and fetch!! Hehehehe :) I LOVE IT!! 

After that I watched as all the other kids got to open their presents, they sure got some FUN stuff indeed! Soon after it was time to say goodbye :( I'm gonna Miss you Auntie Patty and Cousin's Ed & Tom and of course you too Conner!! I better see ALL of you guys soon !! And next time make sure Uncle Steve comes along with!! Tell him I said So!! :) I love you all And THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!!

Next up on the Olivia Christmas Tour Bus was Grandma and Grandpa Moisio's house!! Once we got there we had to wait for Grandma Debbie to get off work, so everyone had dinner again, and AGAIN I had to sit and watch with envy while everyone had PIZZA UGH!! Soon after that tortuous event of watching everyone eat AGAIN, Grandma showed up and it was time for MORE PRESENTS! BUT before we get to that, I will say I was not the only one there at grandma's! My brother's Jayce and Preston were with me and of course my sister Alexis too! Along to join in on all the fun was Auntie Vickie, Uncle Terry, Cousin Matti, and the infamous Cousin Sammi too! So now on to the Gifts!

 Here you can see I got me some books!! Now of course I can't read yet (But I sure can write blogs huh!) But I am sure I can make my mommy and daddy read them to me!! This is from my Great Grandma all the way from Arizona!! Thank you soo much! BUT WAIT you see that picture of a cross on the chair there! My Great Grandma made that just for me!! She made it so god can watch over me always, and keep me safe :) Mommy is gonna hang that right above my crib :) Thank you soo much! I love it!! :)

Here you can see me watching as cousin Matti and mommy open up the my rocking house!!! Grandpa and Grandma got me that bad boy!! As soon as I am able to hold my self up I will be sure to try and tackle that wonderful toy! Heck even grandpa tried to ride it after he built it for me! (It was quiet the amusing sight let me tell ya! That poooooor horse...) I sure can't wait to use it! Thank you soo much!

 Next was a WHOLE bunch of stuff! First in the box was some chew toys that are really gonna make my day, (and make my thumbs Jealous!) and a WHOLE lot of pretty clothes (One of which I was wearing at their beginning of this blog) Now to save you all from staring at LOTS more photos I will just let you know what I got, I GOT A GLOW WORM!!!! (This was from Auntie Vicki and Uncle Terry) Now I did have a pic but somehow daddy messed it up, so you all will have to use your imagination!  I also got Christmas Dresses, 2 of them!!! and my coat you saw above!! Here is one of my dress's below!

 Very beautiful huh!! I LOVE IT!! (I may look upset above and that's only because I could not have any pizza earlier!!)

And here is my last gift at Grandma & Grandpa's, it's a giant ball that moves BY ITSELF!! It is supposed to make me crawl after it too. Its SOOOO weird how that thing just starts moving by itself! Must be some magical force that I am unaware of..... spooky! 

After that I was SUPER tired from all the excitement and It was time to go home! So I said Goodbye to the Family of mine!! Thank you all SOOOOO much for all the Fun gifts and beautiful clothes!! I had soo much fun :)

Now everything that happened above happened on Saturday the 22nd, Sunday I spent the day with Jade while mommy and daddy had there Seahawks game. And the Seahawks WON AGAIN!!! Wooohooo!! That was pretty much it for Sunday, but I sure did have lot's of fun! Thanks Jade!! Now Monday was Christmas eve, and Jayce, Alexis AND Preston all left to go with there other families for the day so it was just Mommy, Daddy and I. So we decided it would be fun to spend Christmas Eve with Grandma Berta, Uncle Joey, Auntie Sarah, and Uncle Joey!!



Buuuuuuuut I have noticed this blog has gotten REALLY LONG, So I will call this Part 1 of 2. I am pretty tired but I promise I will finish with all my Christmas adventures this weekend with Part 2. I want you all to know I am sorry for taking so long to get you this blog, but It will be worth it in the long run :) I love you all and I will see you all soon with Part 2 :)

 Goodnight World!!! Hahahaha I look like a snowman!!

 :)

 

Just a Quiet Week at Home & Waiting For Christmas!!

Hello Everybody! How was your week?? Mine was very quiet, and I had lots of time to just relax and stare at my pretty Christmas tree :) Which was really just about all I did this week! Oh but as you can see in the picture above, my Auntie Sarah got me a new toy to stand in! This one even has a puppet that seems to come alive every time my Mommy comes near it!! Weird!! Its got a bunch of buttons that make fun noises that I just love!! Thank You Auntie I love it!!

Now one of few things I actually did get to do this week besides eating and sleeping was going to my sister's Christmas Musical! It was sure a lot of fun hearing everyone sing their pretty Christmas songs and my sister was the BEST obviously! So good in fact that my daddy got her roses!! Even Grandpa Andy made the trip out to see her perform :) And of course Grandpa had to hold me for a little bit, but I think he spent too much time pinching my chubby cheeks! See Below!!

Geez his hands are almost the size of my face!! Yeah I am just looking at him wondering when the torture was gonna end!! Just kidding Grandpa! :) Anyways later in the week I went with my mommy and daddy out to do the last of the Christmas shopping and like always complete strangers come up to me and just stare and comment on how pretty I look :) Little do they know that this princess at one time was only 2 pounds!! Man how time flies :) After all of our shopping adventures were over I got to watch my mommy wrap up all the presents for my brother's and sister, they sure are gonna love their gifts from me :)

And Sunday the Godparents came over just to see me!! Ok actually they came over to watch the Seahawks when yet ANOTHER game!! Whooohooo Go Hawks!! And as you can see above I am just as into the game as my daddy!! Amber though seems really into me :) Later Grandpa came over again to visit me and fix our messed up oven too. Thank You Grandpa for fixing our food heater upper!! :) As you can see now a VERY quiet week indeed, but it's all good I need quiet weeks from time to time just so I don't get too overwhelmed :) Next week will be Christmas time!! I am SOOOOOO excited too!! Lots of stuff going on next weekend and I CANT WAIT!! :) Now I may not have my blog up next week until after Christmas, so look for my weekly update on the 26th which is a Wednesday I think :)

And as you can see above I am getting cranky now and probably getting a cold as well or maybe its allergies, either way I am off to bed for the night!! I love you all and I will see you all next week to talk about my first Christmas! :)

 Merry Christmas to you all, and Thank You for being a part my first amazing year :)

It's Christmas Time!! & I Got To Meet Santa!!!

Hello everyone!! How are all of you?? I am very VERY well! I had a nice calm week once again and a VERY fun weekend!! These calm weeks have been really nice because it gets me nice and rested for my crazy weekends!! This week was spent getting ready for Christmas time! Now of course before this week I had NO CLUE what Christmas even was, but now I sure do! And now I am REALLY excited for it!!

You see that over there? That was an ornament that my mommy got for my daddy to let him know that I was growing in my mommy's tummy!! He got to find out about me when he opened the gift and saw this ornament :) Very cool idea mommy :) But maybe she thought I was gonna be a boy becuase it is baby blue and not Pink!! Oye anyways the date this all happened was 12/12/11. Its crazy its been a year now that I've been around (half inside my mommy of course), it is also nice to know that I was apart of last year's Christmas too :) That makes me smile! Then right next to my first ornament on the tree is another ornament gotten for me from my god mommy! See Below!

Very fitting don't you all think ?? :) Thank you God Mama Amber I love it!!! :) I got to watch daddy bring home our brand new christmas tree with all it's pretty lights, then I got to watch Jayce and Alexis hang up all their ornaments. They sure looked like they had a lot of fun!! Especially Alexis, whom got to put the star on the top of the tree! Hopefully next year I get a chance to help out and not just watch! They did a wonderful job and the tree got put right next to my chair too! So now I get to see all them pretty lights all the time!!

See! I get to be under the tree just like a present :) I had a pretty normal week as well, you know wake up, eat, cry, sleep and repeat! I am still giving my parents a hard time at night, nothing new there :( Good thing they really like me or else I think they would have tried to return me back to ICU by now!! I still waking up 2-3 times a night or every 2 hours basically ugh! But I have been doing better just laying by myself and keeping myself entertained with toys and other things. I STILL hate tummy time too! I cant do it longer than a couple of minutes everyday, it just drives me crazy!! Grandpa Andy also brought me a new toy, Look!

Yea! now I can stand up kinda, and then whack around all these fun toys around me! I LOVE this thing! Even though my mommy scared me soooooo bad when I first got put in this thing, she slapped around one of the loud rattle toys and it scared me so bad I screamed for like 5 minutes!! She almost permanently scared me for life!! Luckily my memory is not that good and I was able to go right back in it and have fun :) I just love standing up and being able to see everything around me, its my favorite thing to do!!

Now on the weekend we got to go over to my Great-Great Aunt and Uncles house!! They're names are Don and Lorrie. Now I have met them a couple times before today and they sure were surprised on how well I look and how BIG I have gotten lately! Now we were over here because they were able to write a letter to santa and get him to come over to the house to talk to all the kids! Now I had NO CLUE who santa was but once I found out I sure was excited to meet him!! Santa came in after we all played games and ate and he got all of us kids youngest to oldest to sit on his lap and tell him what we wanted for christmas! Of course I was the youngest so I got to go first! But unfortunately I can't talk yet so I just sat there and posed for pictures with jolly ole saint nick :) Afterwards he gave all of us our very own Jingle bells that we all get to ring on Christmas Eve to remind him to come to our house! Very fun! Everyone else got to make a gingerbread man and Christmas decorations. I on the other hand just got to watch :( Oh well next year I will able to participate more :) It was sooooo much fun to meet santa and all my other family members that were there, Thank you SOOOOOO much Great Auntie and Uncle :)

Here is the picture of all of us posing :) Such a great looking family we have :) The next day I went over to Jade's house with Jayce and Alexis while mommy and daddy went to their Seahawks Game. As usual I had loads of fun over there too!! I got to watch Alexis and Jade make cupcakes :) Another thing I would LOVE to try but I cannot :( Thank you Jade for watching me :) Ill see you again soon!! Well that was pretty much it for my week, loads of fun and now it's the countdown for Christmas and I sure hope I am on santa's good list! (all my late nights might make him put me on the naughty list though!) Thank you all for reading about my week and I hope you had as much fun this week as I did!! I love you all and I will see ya next week!! :)

Good night world!!! :)

Lots of Birthday's! And Back to the Dr. Ugh! :(

 Why hello there everybody!! How was every one's week?? Mine started pretty slow and ended with lots of fun times!! I had two birthday parties to go to (FUN!) and I had to go back to the Dr. again (not FUN), and all of that was in a matter of 3 days!! But then you look at the first half of the week, and it was very peaceful and calm :) Trust me after all the excitement with family and friends the week prior I needed it!! I got to relax and just grow some more :) And when your a miniature princess you need nice calm days every once in a while :)

Now like I was saying the first half was pretty quiet and all I really did was hang out with my Grandma Berta and Auntie Sarah (because they watch me everyday!) and of course hang out with daddy & mommy! Now the second my daddy walks in the door I KNOW IT!!! If he does not come over and say hello to me I LOSE IT! And if he does and then walks away too soon I LOSE IT ALSO!!! I need my daddy time, so I FORCE him to not do anything else but cater to my all my needs :) Hehehehe I have said it before but I know for a fact now.... I OWN HIM!!! :) But he will eventually get me to take a nap so he can make dinner for everyone else and then start with cleaning house. Eventually mommy will get home by the time I get up from my nap and then its MOMMY time, and I do the same to her as I do my daddy! I got these parents of mine trained!! Then the inevitable happens I get tired and cranky then its back to the halo blanket and then off to bed :( And YES I still am waking up 1-2 times a night :( Oye maybe once I am allowed to eat food I will get better :) Just ask mommy how much she loved me the other night when I woke up 5 times in 5 hours!! I think daddy was on strike that night :)

As for the rest of the week I had a couple birthday parties to go to! First was my cousin Sammi's first birthday!! What a special day that is!! So many people came to celebrate with her and my Auntie Vicki and Uncle Terry! She got so many presents, toys and clothes, and let me tell you they were VERY PRETTY clothes at that! I can't WAIT for my first birthday, hard to believe that it's only 5 months away!! But the best part of all with her birthday was she got to eat her very own cake!! I am VERY envious of that one!! It sure did look good too!! All my family was there too, as you can see above I even got to be held by my Grandpa Andy!! I got to meet lots of new people for the first time too, people that have only heard about me through this blog, it was really cool and lots of fun! It was sure nice meeting you all and Thank you for all your well wishes and compliments :) And to you Sammi, Happy Birthday Cousin!!!! :) I sure do love you, and I hope you like the toy princess mirror I got you :)

The next day we had Jayce's younger brother's birthday! His name is Jordyn and he turned 7 years old!! It was super fun mostly because my good friend (whom also is a baby) Katie was there to hang out with me!! As you can see above we both were having our tummy time. She has me beat though, I could only hold my self up for a very short time and she was having no issues at all!! We are about the same age if you count my adjusted age of 3 1/2 months. We laid there and played with each other most of the time while everyone else had cake and watched Jordyn open up his presents :) It sure looked like he loved all his presents and had a lot of fun too! Happy Birthday Jordyn and thank you for inviting me and my family over to celebrate it :) I hope you like the game we got you!! :)

And finally I had my Dr's appointment for my Synagis Shot :( I have to go in every month for this shot for the next 5 MONTHS!!! Ugh, I need this shot to prevent RSV which spells utter doom for little preemie princesses like myself. So I have to just tough it out :( Anyways I was weighed and measured again and guess what! I am now 14 pounds 2 ounces!!! And I am 25 1/2" long too! And even my head grew a little bit!! Still no food for me though, Dr says formula only because of all the issues I had with my tummy 4 months ago :( Prob have to wait till I am 9 months before i can even start rice! Oye. I am doing good on my new formula too but I still need my Iron drops twice a day. Other than that they were once again very impressed with how well I am doing and how smart and alert I am :) Oh and the Dr. could not hear my heart murmur either so now they are VERY SURE that it has closed up on its own :) Happy Day!!! Well that's about it folks! Next week is gonna be a very busy one, so I am sure I will have lots to talk about next Monday :) I hope you all have a great week and I sure do love you all too!! And one last big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Sammi and Jordyn :) Love you both!!! And I will close this blog with a goofy picture of Grandpa and I :) Goodnight world!!!

What a Goofy Grandpa!! And man I look like my daddy here! Hehehe :)
