First Food

Today was the big day...Maya's first solid food.  We wanted to wait until Brian had a three day weekend, so he could be around for the excitement (and so he could be around if she did have an allergic reaction).  We picked avocado to start with because it's a great baby food and because we love avocado, so we can eat the leftovers :).  We mixed a small chunk up with some breastmilk from the freezer (we didn't eat that part of the leftovers) until it was super runny.  Maya has been staring at us while we eat for a few weeks now, so we knew she was ready to try eating.  We also let her spend some time in her bumbo seat playing with a spoon.

The first bite...

All in all, I would say it was a success.  She ate about 5 spoonfulls of it, but she did make quite a few funny faces. 

We'll stick with avocado for breakfast for the next few days before moving on to her next food...sweet potatoes!
