Lauren, I saw your new siggie and thing it is too cute! How are you? How is Brady? I can't remember if you plan to return to work or not. I would love to see an update.

Yes, the new siggy is adorable!

Thanks, girls!

Things here are going well. I took this entire school year off, so I'm home until next August. Brady is almost 4 months old now. I can't believe how fast time is flying by! He's still a little peanut like he was when he was born. He was only just over 11 pounds the last time we weighed him.

We're still BF but not sure how much longer we will continue. My lupus has been flaring up, and my dr. wants me back on some prescriptions that aren't safe for BF. I'm holding out as long as I can, but if it gets any worse we will have to switch to formula. I gave it everything I had though, and he got BF for almost 4 months. I'm proud of that.

Here's a picture I took of him outside today. He always furrows his eyebrows like that when he's looking at someone/something.



Thanks for thinking of us. I'll try to be better about updating on here. I get so little time with 2 hands to type since he demands to be held all the time.

He is a beautiful baby, Lauren! I think that 4 months is a wonderful amount of time to breastfeed and if you have to start back on your meds, Brady will be great. Elliott was on part formula/part BM from about 3 months old and then increasingly more formula over time and is now all formula. The transition went extremely smoothly and he is thriving. I know what you mean about having extra hands to type, but it will get easier!
