During my week away at Traverse City, Mady caught her first cold. She was snotty and congested, but other than that, she handled it really well. If that is what colds are going to be like, I think we'll be able to it. :)
We got a new sling as a gift from my Aunt Marty. It has been fun to try this new method of conveyance. We do walk around with Mady a lot and sometimes it seems like the stroller is a bigger hassle than it is worth. We usually walk to the cafeteria twice a day and it is a mile and a half round trip. We know that Mady is comfortable in her new sling because she has fallen asleep in it a few times.
The biggest development this week has been the introduction of solid foods. We started with rice cereal, which Mady threw up the first time. She handled it much better after we tried adding some bananas. Next up will be avocado and sweet potato. We'll see how she likes those. Avocado is supposedly one the best things to feed a baby.
Finally, we've decided to start teaching Mady sign language. We're starting with three signs for now: eat, milk, and more. According to the books we've read, she should be signing back to us by 9 or 10 months. Once she figures out the concept of signing she should be able to learn more signs pretty easily. We'll keep you posted.
