Avocados!

Friday night we introduced Gavin's first "real" food item. Up until now we have just been giving him rice cereal to give him practice eating from a spoon and something a little more solid than breastmilk. He has been doing great with that and even seemed to really enjoy it. I have been planning what to try next and thought avacados would be good. I had planned a dinner that we were having avocados in (mmmm... chicken, bacon, cheese, avocados and ranch in a sun-dried tomato wrap with fresh baked onion rings) and I mashed up some for Gavin.

Very excited about the food heading his way...


Mmmm... pleasantly surprised for something different (Notice the death grip on the spoon).


What he was being fed (and a little glimpse of what Scott and I ate).


Daddy's turn to feed Gavin so I could eat my dinner (Gavin got really impatient that I would pause between his bites so I could eat my dinner... how dare I). Clearly Gavin loved the avocados, he kept reaching for the bowl...


Which he wouldn't let go of, even when he had the spoon in his mouth...


And Scott never took it away (even though I tried to warn him) because Gavin kept giving him cute and innocent looks...


Which leads to a very messy child.


Oh well, at least it was a hit. Next up, sweet potatoes!
