Avocado

 Mariah has been showing signs of being ready for solid foods for a couple weeks, and has been desperately grabbing food out of my hand and trying to eat it. It has just taken me awhile to accept it. And once I accepted it, I had to read every article ever written on the internet about starting solids. In the end it was nothing fancy, we just mashed up an avocado and fed it to her. In typical Mariah fashion, she was like, "What's the big deal?" I was surprised she actually was able to smoosh the food with her gums and even swallow it. She seemed to like it and kept reaching for the bowl and trying to guide the spoon into her mouth. And I took over 100 pictures.


 We started off with a big regular spoon and then remembered we had baby spoons. We're amateurs.

Hahaha I love her face here.

Mmmmmm so delicious

  2. A definite Mexican food lover there!! She looks like she is enjoying the experience. How did she react to the food? That first pic of Matt looks a lot like Jeff. I had to do a double take. :)

  6. She is so cute! We started both Max and Jack on avocado for their first solid food, I just mashed it and added some of my breast milk to make it mushier. And Max is still a huge avocado lover, I wish I could say the same for Jack...
