Olivia Maria Kaczmarskyj – 2001 Year in Review
(or
at least a partial year in review, since I don’t have a lot to write about
before August 11th!) |
| |
| The fun began on
August 11th, my birthday. I was a breach baby, and the doctors tried their
best to turn me upside-down, but I refused to let them push me around (I
take after my Daddy). So, I was delivered c-section, and boy, did I come out
kicking and screaming! Mommy and the doctors all got a good laugh when the
doctor started to pull me out of Mommy’s tummy and Daddy said “Trish, it’s
the head!”, and the doctor replied, “No, George, that’s the butt!” Lucky for
me that since then, there hasn’t been any confusion over what side is what.

I was welcomed into
the world by so many family and friends. My Grandma and Grandpa from
Colorado, and my aunt from Canada made special trips just to see me! Both of
my Grandmas in particular have become “Olivia junkies” – I sure have them
wrapped around my little finger! |

|
| My dog Harley has
been very good with me. He mostly just sniffs me and licks my little feet.
In a few months, he’ll become my best friend, when I start eating real food
– and dropping my leftovers on the floor! |

Mommy and Daddy
dressed me up as a peapod for my first Halloween. I went trick-or-treating
to a few houses, but Daddy ate all of my candy! Oh well, maybe next year!
|

|
| Mommy, Daddy and
Aunt Laura took me to my first Redskins game. We won and I even got to meet
the Hogettes! Aunt Laura is teaching me to be a die-hard Redskins fan, much
to the dismay of my Grandpa from Colorado, especially since the Redskins
recently beat his favorite team, the Broncos! |

Mommy just went back
to work and even though she loves her job, she misses me a lot (who
wouldn’t?). But I am so lucky, because my Aunt Laura takes care of me during
the day, and we have a lot of fun together. Daddy travels to Boston during
the week for his job, but Mommy makes sure that he changes his share of
diapers on the weekends! |

|
|
All in all, it’s been a great 4 months so
far. I’m keeping my Mommy and Daddy on their toes, teaching them how to be
good parents. They’re learning more and more about me every day and they
love me a lot – I guess I’ll keep them! |
