Well it’s about time! I am actually going to give you an update in words. Don’t worry there are some more adorable pics at the bottom of the post too. So we have been doing pretty well for the most part lately. We are coming up on two months in the new house already and I only have 1 box left to unpack. We had to move Kennedy to the smaller bedroom, but I actually like the setup better in there anyway. I am currently contemplating how I want to decorate Kennedy’s new room. I don’t know if it will be modern or classic, but I can promise you it will be PINK! Ken (yes I know I said I would never call her that, but its so much easier to type) Was 26 inches long and 13 pounds 2 ounces on the 11th. She is out of almost all of her 3 month size stuff and is quickly filling out 6 months size. I am finding it hard find clothes, especially pants that fit her well. She is 6 months in length, but her waist is still much to tiny to fit 6 months. Any suggestions on where to find tall skinny clothes for babies would be much appreciated. As of her last doctors visit they were not pleased with Ken’s weight gain. We are now adding vegetable oil to her bottles and butter to her solid foods to try and boost the calories. We will see how she does on her next visit to the BPD clinic. Ken’s teacher from inland regional suggested we get her some shoes since she tends to stand on the sides of her feet so she got to wear her very first pair of shoes the other day. They are little pink crocs and she had on her Minnie Mouse shirt that day so she looked like she was ready to head off to Disneyland. Very, very cute!

March for Babies

Every year the March of Dimes holds a March for Babies in over 900 communities across America to help raise funds for research to help babies born to soon or sick. May 3rd they are holding an event in Loma Linda near the hospital where Kennedy was born. Shawn, Kennedy and I are pleased announce the creation of team Our Baby Kennedy. We wanted to create a team to honor of our beautiful daughter to celebrate her life and how far she has come. Everyday we are grateful that she is still here with us. We know so many other families that didn't get the fairy tale ending like we have. Without the research funded by the March of Dimes Kennedy would not be here with us today. We are asking everyone we know to help us reach or team fundraising goal of $500. I know times are tough right now and money is tight but even a donation of $1 is a step toward making sure that one day all babies are born healthy. So far just the three of us are walking but team Our Baby Kennedy would love to have some company so if you would like to join us use the link below to visit our team page and click on " Join this Team".
