We started Avery out (per doctors instructions) on solid foods last week. When I say solid, as all you parents know, it really is not all that solid. It does taste pretty good though. If only “grown-up” food could be so pure and good tasting … it would certainly help me with my weight loss – back to the subject.

We were told to expect spitting and coughing, etc. when Avery first tried sweet potatoes. “Cover the room and yourselves in plastic” people said. Ah, forget that. Let’s just see what happens!

It was not all that messy, but Avery was certainly shocked by what she was given, and tried to gag it out of her mouth. Even though the first taste was an adventure, by night number 2 it was as if she did not remeber the night before. She downed the food with renewed vigor, and has not looked back.
