Avocado Shmavocado

Well, the time has come to let Gavin enter the world of solids! Something that I have not been looking forward to. It just makes me realize that he is getting so big so fast, and also that he now doesn't have to only rely on me for his nourishment. Since the day that he was born, I knew exactly what his first solid would be, an avocado. Not only is it full of good nutrients, it also is my favorite! So, Sunday morning we stripped him down into his diaper.  Joe got the video camera rolling and it was beyond hysterical (to Joe and I) from there. Of course, as a mom, I had to take picture after picture.....after picture as I didn't want to miss ANYTHING!!! Well, to say the least, he was not a fan. He was gagging, drooling, coughing, whining, etc etc etc. I must admit, he was quite the sport, and he definitely gets a gold star for it. Being new at this, we wondered if it was just the avocado that he wasn't enjoying or if was the new texture and taste in his mouth? Of course, my curious mind had to see what the problem was, so I quickly cut up a pear, and without a moment going by he gagged and spit it out! So, day one of solids has come and gone.  I know that as long as we keep up on this everyday, it will only get easier and better tasting for him.  Pictures will tell all you need for this!
Until next time.
