Just plain ole catching up
So much has been going on since I last blogged, which has essentially taken me away from blogging. I just haven't taken the time to sit down and do this, so I do apologize. Mostly to Kennedy though as I had wanted to show this to her one day so that she can see everything we've documented and done.
Kennedy is now 19 months old!! Where, and I mean seriously, WHERE has the time gone? She is a full blown toddler. She talks like crazy, is everywhere and anywhere all the time, and just watching her grow and learn every day just blows my mind.
I've been asked how many words she knows, and I couldn't even start counting, it seems as if she picks up a new one every day. (I promise to attempt to start creating a list and I will put it in another post) She understands things so well, you can ask her to bring you something and she'll go right to the object and bring it, or even ask her to go do something and she'll do it. Our nighttime routine consists of us asking her "is it night night time?" and she hightails it back to her bedroom to get ready for her bath. It is so cute!
But man, her being 19 months just brings her that much closer to 2, and that much farther away from her tiny beginning.
Last year at 6 months old --
This year at 18 months old --
She weighed in at 20lbs 10.5oz and was 31 inches long at her 18 month appointment. Now to some that may seem small, but to us she is just getting so big!!
More to come, I promise!

March for Babies 2011
We will definitely see you next year!! (and I'll post more than just pictures too, I promise!)
Wow, long time no post.
I do not even know if anyone even follows this anymore. I honestly do not blame you if you don't.
I will try and do a few small catch up posts so that people can get an idea of what's going on in the world of the Hons.
Lets see, the last post was about March for Babies, so I'll start there (on the next post :) )
For now, here is a cute picture to tide you over.

March for Babies!!!
Last year was our first year participating with the March of Dimes with their March for Babies event. We are so thankful to be able to participate again this year!
Last year we raised nearly $3,000 to support the March of Dimes, and we're hoping to do the same this year.
Why we walk:
Kennedy was born 8 weeks too early, at 32 weeks and 3 days, weighing only 3lbs 5oz.
Due to advancements in medical technology and procedures over the years, she was able to breath on her own not too long after being born, and was able to gain the weight needed and grow strong to be where she is today. Without the March of Dimes (and March for Babies) we would not have had these medical advancements.
Today she is almost 16 months old, nearly 20lbs, and is taking on life with the sass, vigor and enthusiasm that Austin and I have. I could not even begin to imagine life without her, and I am thankful every single day for the nurses and doctors in the NICU at Alta Bates Summit Medical Center in Berkeley, California who helped us in our time of need.
I know myself, along with many other preemie parents, do not ever want another parent to go through this, however we know it is a reality and it does happen. Kennedy, and these other parents and children are the reason why we March for Babies.
We March for awareness, and with the hopes that with each step it will bring us that much closer to having strong and healthy babies for everyone.
Please help us again, in supporting the March of Dimes through March for Babies
