Today we visited my cousin Caitlin at MICA in Baltimore, which is the Maryland Institute College of Art, where she is studying Ceramics. We got to look through some buildings, galleries, and studios. It all seemed really nice, and in a cool part of Baltimore that neither Steve or I had been before. I am now a fan of the artist Warren Seelig - click here to see some of the exhibits that we saw today.
We ate lunch at a cute little cafe, where Jared was treated to chewing on the crinkly paper that came under our sandwiches - it was really cute.
Steve and I also started Jared on mashed up brown rice mixed with breastmilk. He is good at slurping the liquid out of the spoon, but the rice usually gets left on the spoon or stuck to his face. He's new at this whole swallowing solid foods idea, but I'm sure he'll be gobbling it all up soon.
We also started Jared on sleep training. This means feeding him only once (or not at all) at night. He was in the habit of getting up to eat a few times during the night. All three of us need more continuous sleep than 3 hour increments. These first nights are rough, but hopefully, we'll be sleeping longer very soon.

Just remember that by not nursing at night it is 1. going to decrease your milk supply and 2. Jared has the potential to want to nurse more often during the day to make up for being hungry at night.
It might be a little early to start with holding food at night.
