Emily's first avocado

Last night, we had salad with our dinner, which included some avocado. As always for more than the past motnh, Emily was trying to grab anything within her reach, and trying to stuff it into her mouth. And so I thought, since she is now almost 5 months, why not try to give her some of the avocado. Mashed it up well, and gave her a tiny spoon. She opened her mouth wide, took a little bit in. Made a face. Opened the mouth wide for more. Got some more, made even a nastier face... so who knows whether she likes it. But she sure was glad to be getting something into her mouth. No turning back - she is ready for "solids".
