My First Birthday




Dear Uncles and Aunties,

Oh Yeah! It's my very 1st Birthday!

I am so lucky to have grand parents to take good care of me, and to have parents who love me so much! I would like to gives thanks to them and to everyone who care about me.

Also give thanks to father God, without His blessings, I can not grow so strong and healthy. So far I have never been sick yet :)

Approaching one year old, I can often stand up without any assistants, and repeat simple words of what adults say. I understand a lot more than what I can express. I'm looking forward to the exciting next steps in my life!

Big hugs and sweet kisses,

Happy baby Olivia

Olivia's 9 month journal and pictures

Dear Aunties and Uncles,

Yeah, I'm 9 months' old!

I grow fast and surprise daddy and mommy with new skills every couple days. The only thing doesn't grow is my hair. Lot of Chinese people believe that a baby will have more and darker hairs if her head gets shaved before one year old. So, believe it or not, my parents gave it a try and shaved my head. Look, I'm bald now! But I'm still quite a beauty, agree?

So far I've gotten two teeth and 4 more are on the way--thanks to the good nutrients from formula :)

Have a joyous spring time!
Olivia

Olivia's 8 month journal and pictures

Dear Uncles and Aunties,

Happy Spring!

I'm 8 months old now and grow stronger and smarter everyday. Look, I even defeated a little tiger and was chewing on its tail :) I love to play and my favorite game is hide and seek--see how excited I was when I found where daddy is!

Wishing you enjoy the gentle warmth and flowers' fragrances in this spring season (no allergies...)!

Dear Uncles and Aunties,

I'm reaching 7 months today! Look, I can sit now without assistant (this just happened this morning!)

I continue to grow bigger and stronger. My head (80%) grows much faster than my weight (35%) and length (52%). Mom always calls me "big head, big ears, big eyes, little Olivia". I respond to her with smiles whenever I hear she calls me that way.

My favorite playmate is daddy. I love to sit on his tummy and play with him. I also favor him more than any other people. Even grandpa and grandma spend more time with me, I'm still reaching out my arms to daddy whenever I see him. That makes him feel so good and proud!

Wishing you all happy and healthy tiger year!
Olivia



Happy Chinese New Year from Olivia



Olivia's 6 month journal and pictures

Dear Uncles and Aunties,

Warm greetings from Olivia!

Time flies. I'm already 6 months old now! Becoming more and more demanding, I can't be easily satisfied by feeding and holding. I need entertainment and interactions. Mom and dad have to figure out new ways everyday to meet my big curiosity appetite. In return, I'm rewarding them with sweet smiles and lot of laughters.

I have started solid food a couple weeks ago and now I'm a master of eating cereals. In general, I'm an easy baby but sometimes I do show some temper too. I even scream and make big noises when I'm unhappy.

I can't wait to grow bigger and being able to sit and talk :)

With love and delighted heart,
Olivia

Dear Uncles and Aunties,

Happy holidays!

Tonight is the debut of my very first Christmas party at church and I behaved just like a little lady: I dressed up pretty, was calm and happy, hardly cried.

Turning to 5 months old, I have picked up so many new skills: I can use my tiny fingers to put back the pacifier if it drops off my mouth; my eyes and head are following mommy when she runs in and out of the room; I laugh loudly when daddy plays peekaboo; I can make complicated sounds to express different motions; I may even sit momentarily without assistance; I'm showing strong interests in what adults eat-my mom wonders if I'm craving for solid food but with the possibility of constipation, she hesitates to give me that yet...

In general, I'm a happy, healthy and easy baby so far. But hey daddy and mommy, I may surprise you later, so be prepared!

With love and sweet smiles,
Olivia
