And now for a few updates:
My previously self-declared breastmilk snob has now decided food is pretty fun (as long as she feeds herself). Those of you who have been following the blog may be a bit confused. Yes, I did post months ago that she loved bananna, and I also posted at some point not long after that she had tried sweet potatoes. However, at some point after that, she decided solids were for the birds, and only breastmilk would do for her. This lasted a month or two. She did enjoy a slice of apple in her little mesh feeder, but nothing else. Well, now she has become a little gourmand. She adores nibbling on good french bread (inferior bread will not do) with some particularly tasty string cheese. Apples are still a favorite (but none of the mushy pureed stuff), as well as good quality crackers. Here she is enjoying a particularly yummy meal of baguette, string cheese and grated apple:

In other news, Last weekend Sage attended her second orchestra concert (at 8 months of age!). We went to see the McLains perform with the Oak Ridge Symphony. Sage slept through almost the entire concert snuggled in mommy's sling, and Mommy was able to enjoy the music. Daddy, sadly was not able to go because he had to study for a test. :-( Poor daddy!
