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!!
