Audrey is still doing great. She hit all of her developmental milestones: holds head up, grasps objects, puts things in mouth, tries to stand when you hold her up.

You can start solids at 4-6 months, but our doctor is very conservative and says to wait until she's 6 months old. He said we could start giving her an ounce or two of water a day as well as juice if we wanted to, but to really limit it. He said to think of it as dessert.

Chris was sick two weeks ago and I've been sick for the last week. Since I've been sick, Audrey has been acting funny too. She's cranky and not nursing well. We gave her a little juice since we were worried about her not eating much. The bottle freaked her out. She acted confused and disgusted for a few minutes, but seemed to enjoy the juice once she gave it a chance. Fortunately, she's more herself today.
