These are pictures of Violet's first time trying rice cereal. I wish I could report that she loved it and ate it all up, but she barely tolerated a tiny little bit and then she refused to open her mouth anymore. Oh well...good photo op at least.

Peaceful Flyer

She was this peaceful on every leg of the trip. To tell the truth, I loved holding our baby and watching her sleep.

Rochester Visit

Violet enjoying her boat ride on Grandpa's boat. Later we stopped at Chimney Bluffs to swim and Violet was cracking up at us jumping into the water.

Violet with Grandma. This photo was taken at the Eagle Island picnic where Grandma and Grandpa got to show off their grand kids.

Long time friend Karen, her daughter Megan and friend Don. Karen was in town for her and Rene's 20-year High School reunion. It was great to see her.

A visit to Rochester wouldn't be complete without being able to see Traci. Violet and Anna played together for the first time.

Violet being held by her soon-to-be Aunt Elizabeth, Grandma and Great Grandma. We ate tons of steamed clams and sweet corn out on the deck!

GG

One important stop on our Upstate NY tour was to visit Great Grandma (aka GG). Violet got to meet GG, Uncle Fran and Aunt Lisa, and cousins Dickie, Carise, Darien, Mila, Al, Michelle and Nick. It was a GREAT visit and it was hard to leave.

Milestone

Lately Violet has been very interested in food; watching others eat and grabbing for their plates. So...I thought it was time to try Rice Cereal. Violet seemed to like it, and she handled the feel of the spoon in her mouth well too, but she didn't eat very much before she'd had enough and wanted her bottle instead. Still a successful first attempt. I think I'll get the high chair out of the box.

Wedgie!
