The avocado experiment

Before Andy and I go back to work full-time in January, we thought we should teach Riley how to eat solid food. I made him "guacamole," a mixture of avocado and breastmilk. 

We all waited with excited anticipation. Would our California baby love avocado? Would he, as I predicted, be a champion eater on the first try? Check out the video to see for yourself:

I finally gave up on the avocado and let him resume with his favorite snack: a hand sandwich. Ahh, happiness restored!

By the way, this week we also started him on water to wash down the solids. While he hates avocado (and now banana too), he does like the sippy cup. If he can gnaw on it, it's golden in his book.
