The World Is No Longer Safe!!!

So Mady has some big news for this week. Not only did she turn 8 months old but she also has started to crawl. Carrie bought some leg socks on ebay. The socks should give her enough padding to get around comfortably on our hard floors. (Plus they will make diaper changing a breeze!) Now that Mady has started to crawl, she has discovered a whole new world of "toys," including mommy and daddy's shoes, table and chair legs, backpack straps, and so much more!

Mady has been doing well in the food department, too. She's getting better at feeding herself food, including cheerios, crackers, rice cakes, pieces of cheese, and clumps of mashed potatoes. Her favorite food recently is tofu--straight from the fridge. We never buy the stuff but a friend recommended we give it a try and Mady loves the stuff! We don't see the appeal. :-)

Mady had some visitors briefly stop by on Labor Day--her grandpa and grandma Beyer. They were driving back to Wisconsin from Cleveland and made a detour our way to see Mady (and us). :-) We went for a picnic in the Arboretum, a perfect way to celebrate the day off!

In other news, I'm back to work with a more regular schedule. I also started classes this week; I have one class on wednesday night and one on thursday night. Carrie found out that she got the job offer to teach part-time at a nearby university. Carrie also got a Tom Pease CD (i.e., folk music for kids) for Mady this week, so she has been busy learning all of the songs so she can sing them to Mady. Never a boring day in the Beyer household!
