This is Mary hanging in her little play gym. After she realized she had gained 50% of her body weight in just 6 weeks, she really made it a resolution to hit the gym hard.
My friend from work, Erin LePage, gave Mary this playgym when she was about 2 months old in my belly. Super sweet, and turning out to be a great gift.
She just lays and plays. And sometimes wears her little self out.
Oh, and these are Mary's new friends she met at the gym. She thinks they're fab.
I think the NBA believes that Mary might be a future WNBA star, because they sent Mary some pretty freakin cute Christmas/birth gifts.
Actually, Andy works on the NBA account at his agency (I put up some of their commercials below), so these aren't recruitment bribes but instead just some really thoughtful presents from the nice people Andy works with at the NBA.
As mentioned, here are some of the commericals Andy and his agency has made for them recently: (he says their job was "to make people forget all the stuff that happens off the court by focusing on all the amazing stuff that happens on the court.")
It's time to announce the winners of the baby pool. From a cast of only 13 guessers, it's pretty remarkable how darn close some of you were to the categories.
In the Hair Color division, there was a 5-way tie. A tie makes sense with fewer options, but nonetheless, you were all pretty much on the money. Mary has dark brown hair. It's blonde metamorphosis is tbd. According to her great Aunt Nancy, this is a Grayson thing. (true)

Kenley
Mama Plum
Vicki
and Marie
In the Length contest, seems momma and grandmomma had some instincts going when they penciled in their guesses. Mary is 19.1 inches.
Kristen guessed 19 and Mama Plum guessed 19.5
In the Weight class, Margo dominated. No contest. Mary tipped the scales at 6lbs, 7oz – a slight correction from the 6lbs, 10oz earlier reported. No she did not shrink... I heard wrong. Margo almost had a bullseye with a 6lbs, 8oz guess.
Nice work, Auntie Margo.
For the guesses on the Time of Birth, I had the closest guess at 6:17pm. Mary was born on Thursday night at 6:35pm PT. (no arguments for a recount using EST)
But truly, the Time of Birth category has to be folded into the overall Grand Prix award for the closest guess for the birth. The exact time was the tie-breaker for those casting guesses for the same due date.
And the winner of the Grand Prix Due Date Guesser Award was Marie. An architect of a great guess, Marie had December 14th at 3am which was closest to December 13th at 6:35pm.
Marie, please come over to receive your free babysitting session.
