It's been fun introducing Sophie to various foods lately, she really seems to enjoy the process! After the initial rice cereal, we've tried carrots, yams, bananas, Perky-Os (the health-food version of Cheerios) and now, avocado. I went to a nutrition talk at Capers this week and the nutritionist told us that babies who eat textured foods when they're 7-9 months old are more adventurous eaters as toddlers. Tonight we followed her advice by feeding Sophie some soft avocado chunks. Sophie seemed eager to try this new taste but was a little flummoxed by the texture. After picking up avocado off her pants and feeding it back to her (5 second rule!) we got several spoonfuls into her. She coughed a bit, but overall seemed to enjoy her avocado experience.
