COLD!!!

Current temperature at our home in Madison is -15 F. The high today is -6, and wind chills overnight last night apparently were as low as -45. We are very grateful for our warm house, and needless to say we will not be venturing outside today.

Meanwhile, Mazie is doing great. She got a couple of shots earlier this week and weighed in at 19 lbs. 3 oz. She's been eating solids for about 2 1/2 months now, but it's really only in the past month or so that we've gotten into any consistent rhythm with that. Now she eats 2-3 small meals a day. Here's what she eats:

rice cereal
bananas
avocado (this is her favorite... everything else takes a little coaxing but she gobbles these down)
sweet potato
carrots (haven't done these in a while)
peas (introduced these briefly but then she got a rash... probably unrelated but we suspended them just in case)
applesauce

She's still happy and smiley... not a great sleeper but we've more or less decided to just accept that for now since she's happy and healthy and basically perfect in every other way. :) We're very lucky and proud parents.

Your post makes me feel like I should have been wearing shorts when I walked the dog this morning in 15-degree weather.

Great job on the solids, Mazie! She's got her own guacamole recipe going on there.
