First week of school down, 36 weeks to go, not counting other days off, so let's go with 35 weeks to go. And may I say I'm exhausted. I don't know how I'm going to do this the rest of the year. It's tough to make sure Ms. B is up, changed, fed, packed and I'm up, showered, dressed, fed, packed, with coffee in hand all by 6:15 a.m. But man, B you are a rockstar! You did fantastic with J and R & O. They all love you and I'm pretty sure you love them. I'm so glad that when I'm worried and stressed out at work, it's for the reason it's work related and not about you. Don't get me wrong, I'm always thinking about you and wondering how you're doing, but I know J is taking great care of you. I may say you're very lucky, and so am I that we found such a great woman to watch you while I have to work.
I think I may have to start this blog into funny things that have also happened at work type thing as well as things keep popping in my head...
1. A boy hissed at another student
2. A parent asked where "daban" is and I replied, "the banana?" He said, "no, jaban." Therein I replied, "I'm sorry I don't know jaban." Then a student jumped in, "He wants to know where the BAND room is." Really?
3. One female colleague says to my male colleague who says he's about to cry..."Don't f****in' cry."
It's going to be a good year!

6 Month Check-Up
Alrighty Braedyn,
Here's the low down of what happened at the doctor for your 6 month check-up. In a nutshell, she said you are..."splendiferous." Which according to dictionary.com means, "spendid, magnificent, fine." I just loved hearing that! She also said you now weigh 17.8 pounds and are 25 3/4 inches long. I really don't know how you managed to gain 4 pounds in 2 months, but good for you! I was also told to start giving you a sippy cup (which you love!) and wean you onto milk based formula. So you are getting one bottle a day and I think you're doing great with it! Saturday we will start with giving you 2 bottles a day of it. You also have a tooth coming in, finally a reason for all your drooling. It is your lower left and I can't wait to see how long it takes for it to fully come in.
Watching you grow up is so fun. I can't believe my summer of Braedyn and Mommy is coming to an end. We have one last week together and I'm going to milk it for all I can. I'm so happy that we have found an amazing woman to watch you and I know you are in amazing hands. J is going to take such good care of you. And even though I'm sad that it won't be me watching you and playing with you, I'm glad it's someone as thoughtful and caring as J.
XOXO

Six Months
Dearest Braedyn,
Today marks your 6 month birthday. Honestly, I cannot believe you are 1/2 a year old. In the last 6 months you have gone from waking up every 2 hours to sleeping 12 hours straight (on most nights). You have gone from eating breast milk, to soy formula, to oatmeal, and now fruits and veggies. You have gone from wanting me to hold you 24/7 to wanting to play on your playmate and exersaucer and entertaining yourself (though you do get the occasional where is mommy is she looking at me cry). You have gone from this blob who didn't move at all to this little wiggle worm. You were this little peanut who fit in the palm of her daddy's hand and are now this long string bean. You're so long you're wearing 9 month clothes! Today you even decided to go from front to back twice and from back to front! You are changing right before my very eyes, everyday there is more hair growing on your head, eyebrows and eyelashes growing in. You just smile and laugh and sometimes cry, and everyone says they can't believe how beautiful and how good you are. And guess what? They're right!!
Braedyn it's hard to believe that a year ago I was just telling people I was having you and now you're here (actually you've been here for 6 months). This is the hardest job I have ever had to do, however it's been the most fun and rewarding. I cannot wait to see what's in store for these next 6 months. You truly are an amazing baby and I am so blessed that you came into my life.
Love,
Mommy
