Strike One

So far, babyfood making has been a real hit and something I really enjoy doing. Of course, there are several types of foods we buy premade. I've been successful up to this point with bananas, sweet potatoes (G's 2 faves), peaches, apples, and peas. Tonight we ventured to the world of avocados, one of my favorite foods! Well, not so much for G. This was our first strike in the world of solids. It was quite comical watching the expressions on his face while eating the avocado, which I made by simply mashing with a fork into a puree. Needless to say he was not a big fan, BUT he made me proud by continuing to eat almost the entire bowl. About 3/4 the way through half an avocado, he had enough and let me know by refusing to have another bite. I had read on www.wholesomebabyfood.com that bananas and avocados are a good combo, so I took a piece of banana, mashed that up with a fork and added it to the rest of avocado. Now that was a HIT!! And he would have gladly eaten more, but we had already used the rest of the avocado to make some homemade guacamole....yum....
