The day after Steve got home we introduced Griffin to solid foods. I had planned on starting with avocado but he'd had a touch of the runs that week and the pediatrician suggested instead to start with whole grain cereal. He loved it! It was pretty runny, to be honest, mixed with breastmilk, but boy did he open his mouth like a little baby bird after each bite, wanting more! Barely a drop even made it as far as his bib! (Thanks Uncle Kris, for the awesome Barefoot bibs from Sri Lanka- they're perfect for catching baby food and looking cool!) The next couple of days I made it a bit thicker, which made for some funnier faces when he tried it. After a few days I got out the pureed avocado I made for him (I was very proud of myself, making it all up and freezing it like a good little domestic baby-food making mom!). He loved the avocado too. And frankly, that was more fun to feed him because it was bright green. Next up this week, banana....! The last couple pictures are Griffin, just before eating, greeting (smacking?) his baby cousin Micah.
