First rice cereal, 11-Dec-2004.
Well, technically it isn't quite the
first time Lucy has had rice cereal mixed in with her breast milk--she had
just a little bit at daycare. But this was her first real meal of it.
She was very eager for it, opening her mouth whenever the spoon approached. |

Greeting Irene at the airport, 18-Dec-2004.
Joana's mother Irene came to visit. Lucy was
the star in the baggage claim area at the airport, getting lots of smiles
from everyone that she saw. She was equally happy, smiling back at
everyone. |
