first meal: avocado

today, naomi got to experience her first taste of solid food! i have been waiting until she was just over 6 months old for a number of reasons. the main reasons are summed up in this great {short} article from Dr. Josh Axe, "Nutrition for Babies."

what was to be her very first food? avocado of course! i decided this after doing a little research on different fruits and vegetables. i wanted it to be on the list dr. axe recommends so as soon as i started reading about avocado and came across this sentence in Super Baby Food by Ruth Yaron, "...they are so nutritious that some claim humans can live on exclusively," i was SOLD!

so i mashed it up and got it ready to go!
watch her take the first few bites. ignore my weird baby voice. as you can tell, naomi is not the only one that is learning how this works. looks like i need some practice too!

here are a few photo highlights
mmMMmMmmm
she's a little unsure...
dad's turn
poised and ready for her next bite
yay!! she likes it!

  1. JOYA! I loved how vintag'iee' the avocado looks on your table mat - like it had it's own time in the spotlight, coupled with a photo-shoot to be the first baby food of choice!

    Glad that Naomikutty loved her first taste of solid food too! Go little girleee~!!!
