I Marched for Babies!

Me, my mommy, and daddy (btw, I know the proper way to say this would be "My mommy, daddy, and I...but hey I'm a baby, cut me some slack!) walked in the 2009 March of Dimes March for Babies! I was so excited to see all the people that turned out to walk for this cause. It was good to hear the stories of babies like me who were born early and to see them there with their families too!

My mommy told me that a lot of her friends (and some of our family too!) made donations that helped her exceed her fundraising goal. One of my mommy's classmates was there and she was walking with her WHOLE sorority!

The sun was shining, so it was a great day for a walk! I started out sleeping, but about 20 minutes into it, I figured I better open my eyes and check out the view. Plus my daddy kept getting my stroller caught on bumps in the concrete and I thought I was going to fall out!

During the walk, people kept coming up to my stroller and telling my mommy and daddy that I was "so cute"--whatever that means...and asking "how old is he?" I didn't mind because I like to see new faces.

My mommy said the walk was supposed to be 2 miles, but I guess it wasn't because halfway into it my daddy started saying, "This has got to be more than 2 miles." He also said, "I'm going to check this route on my GPS when I get home!" I thought that was funny, even though I don't really know what a GPS is. I think my daddy was right though because it was a long walk and by the time it was over I was REALLY hungry! But, I still had fun and hope my family can do it again next year. Maybe some of my grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends can walk with us next time and wear colorful t-shirts with my name on them like some of the other families did for their babies--I thought that was really cool!
