When Jackson got over his cold, we decided he was ready to start solids. He has all the readiness signs the La Leche League suggests (sitting up, pincher grasp, loss of tongue thrust reflex, etc) so we went for it. Again, as we did with Isabella, we started with Avocado. The La Leche League suggests starting with banana, sweet potato, or avocado as those are the foods that are most similar to breast milk and offer the most nutrition in a single food. So no bland, nutrient-lacking rice cereal over here. :) I'm also finding that since we waited til 7.5 months I don't have to mix in breast milk with the food to make it liquidy... I just smash a bit w/ the spoon & it's good to go.
He was very interested in trying it... and then he made the usual "what the heck is that?" face and then the "what are you doing to me?" face. I'm sure in time he'll grow to love it just as his big sister has. Next up- bananas.

Love the looks he gives when you are feeding him. He didn't seem too thrilled in that one video:-) So cute though. I'm glad he has taken to it better now!
