Rock Lobster!
It’s an important ritual in every New England child’s life: the first lobster. Another milestone passed with flying colors. Ce showed no fear and was quite willing to put future dental work at risk for a taste of that sweet crustacean.

Jam Packed
Cecilia’s love for fruit truly knows no bounds. I mean, she gets excited for food in general. Say the word, breakfast or dinner and she’ll literally drop what she’s doing and make a beeline for the high chair. But say the word blueberry or strawberry or peaches and it’s kick your feet, wiggle your butt, squeal excitement. So you can just imagine her reaction when Uncle Jeff made some fresh blueberry-peach jam on our recent visit to cousin Nathan’s house in DC. It was duck and cover time.
Garden Pest
At first I thought it was a squirrel with a sophisticated palette. Then I caught her red handed! At least she only picks the ripe ones.
Scenes from the Fourth
Cecilia discovered the joys (sweet delicious kernels) and the frustrations (sneaky, yucky silk) of corn on the cob during an active and patriotic holiday weekend at Grandmother and Papa’s house. Don’t take my word for it, check out the photo evidence below:
Liquid Diets are so Last Month
Life in baby land changes as quickly as Lola’s food stays in the bowl. Just when you think you have something down, its time to move onto a new phase. Cecilia is growing quicker than Jack’s beanstalk and with that growth means more food. No longer is Cecilia stricken to the doldrums of a liquid diet, but rather, she has had the opportunity to eat what The Books call “solids”. During her first feeding she grabbed onto the spoon like a skilled knight wielding a sword. She knew exactly where the spoon needed to go and had no problem taking it straight from her Mamma’s hands. However, once the food was in her mouth, Cecilia decided to spit it back out. In the end she was wearing her carrots as though they were the hottest new accessory in fashion. All in all, Cecilia seems to enjoy the eating experience which is definitely something she inherited from the DiLisi side. Now she just needs to start training for those 3 hour dinners.
