We decided to start with avocado, because it's one of the first foods recommended on the helpful website www.wholesomebabyfood.com and by lots of other resources (FYI rice cereal, the first baby food of choice for many years, is now disputed and under review by the APA- it's bland and not very nutritious).
We blended up a super-ripe avocado with some fresh breastmilk to make a yummy-looking (sarcasm) 'avocado milkshake.' Then we stripped Layla down to her diaper, stuck her in her bumbo chair, and spooned some up. We were not surprised when she grabbed the spoon and stuck it in her mouth, and then grabbed a handful and stuck that in her mouth. What a smart girl! Then she grabbed the spoon and waved it all around, and took a handful and smeared it all over her chest, and very quickly there was avocado milkshake all over the place.
We're not sure which she liked more - the avocado milkshake or the big mess she got to make - but she had a blast! She was so worn out afterwards she couldn't wait for bed.

The latest fashion statement -- wear what you eat.
But of course...then you have some for a snack later...
I remember the secondary changes in babies once you start introducing solid foods. Diaper changes were less pleasant after food was introduced. How'd that go?
what a good baby! she looks good in avocado green!
Peggy - we don't know! She's been saving everything up for the daycare this week (good girl!). I'm curious though. I'll let you know after the weekend.
