Maddie Tries Avocado!

This afternoon we introduced solids to Maddie for the first time!  We decided on avocado as her first food.  Avocados have healthy fats, lots of vitamins, and not to mention, they are easy to prepare! I just scooped the avocado meat out of its skin and cut it into tiny pieces.

We initially thought she would pick the avocado up from the plate and put it in her mouth.  You can see she didn't know what to do at first, but after giving her the first spoonful, she was knew to open her mouth every time the spoon came by. She seemed to enjoy it!  After she seemed done with the spoon, we let her play around with the avocado with her hands.  She tried to put some in her mouth!

We will give her avocado for the next 2-3 days.  In case she gets sick or has an allergic reaction, we will know it's because of the avocado. Then we plan on giving her squash as her next food!

Open wide!!

A little smile! We think she likes it!
