Avery Eats!

On July 17th Avery finally got to start eating solid foods! We waited till she was almost 6 months old because 2 of her first cousins have Type I Diabetes. I did some research and it said delaying solids is one way you can try to prevent it. Her first meal was rice cereal! First Bite...

She loved it! One good thing about us waiting is that she was definitely ready for it. She didn't spit or push any of it out with her tongue.

My turn to feed her!

She thinks she can do it herself! That was good!

A few days later, she got oatmeal. She loved that too!

On the 25th we gave her avocados. It was so funny, she was acting like she hated them!

So nasty!

But Miss Piggy kept opening her mouth for more.

Once she got another bite though she was gagging on it and wouldn't swallow!

We gave her more avocados that evening and she ate the whole bowl! I think she just freaked out a little because it was something new. She ate them all week with no problems. I also gave her green beans yesterday and she loved them. So far so good with feeding her solids. I hope she continues to be a good eater. Soon we will start introducing tastier stuff like sweet potatoes and fruit. Josh wanted to get her eating all the "yucky" green veggies first.
