Adventures with Solids

As Olivia approached 6 months old it was time to introduce solid foods. Although "solid foods" isn't really accurate-the foods are more liquid (several ounces of breast milk and a teaspoon or two of the food). Mark and I decided to make our own organic baby food. We purchased a Beaba food maker and so far have enjoyed pureeing avocado and sweet potato.

While Olivia didn't care much for the cereal she loved the avocado. You couldn't feed it to her fast enough! After every bite she kicked her arms and legs and made a "mmmm" sound. We are trying each food for 4 days so tomorrow we can introduce sweet potato. We are excited to see what she thinks and watch her reaction.

Here are few pictures documenting these "firsts."
