Alright, alright, alright...I'm back on...I'm so sorry but I have been slacking on this blog. To no fault of my own. The passing of Mary really through me for a loop and the end of school was just exhausting. But here I am. So a lot has happened and I have to catch up.
Ms. Braedyn, at your 4 month check-up (where does the time go?) you weighed 13 pounds and 15 ounces (let's just round up to 14 pounds) and were 25 1/4 inches long! Holy cow! My how you have grown. Once again Dr. Monroe said you were awesome and also said we could start you on solids. I tried. I don't think you're ready just yet. I'm thinking I'm going to hold off for a few more weeks. Let's see what else...you have found your feet and are trying oh so hard to turn over. I'm thinking within the next few weeks you will officially turn over. Oh yeah, we stopped the swaddling and you are doing fantastic! I was a little worried you wouldn't sleep if I stopped it, but you have surprised me. You are laughing and talking up a storm and I just love to hear what you have to say.
Now on to some serious stuff...what to do for daycare for next year. If anyone has thoughts, please let me know. Or knows of anyone who nannies, let me know!

My Mary
I know these blogs are meant to share in Braedyn's growth, however, due to the circumstances, I'm sure baby girl you'll understand if this post goes out to Mary.
Mary-
You came into my life 27 years ago. I am told I went running straight into your arms, and that's how my parents knew you were the one for our family. I don't have a single memory without you in it. You have been there for everything. Every recital, swim meet, performance, bat-mitzvah, graduations (all 3), my wedding, and of course for the birth of my daughter. I am who I am today because of you. You never yelled at me when I was fresh, and you always made me apologize when I was being mean to anyone. You were such an amazing woman and every body who ever met you was a better person. You had the best smile and the best laugh and it always put a smile on my face. Mary, with you gone, a part of me has died as well. I love you so much. Thank you for raising me into the best woman and mother I can be. Most importantly thank you for watching my daughter this last month. I know she will be a better woman and someday mother because of you too.
I will always think of you. I will always love you. You are forever in my heart.
All my love,
Alison Michelle
