Avocado Please!

This week we started Karis on solid foods.  She was way more ready than I was.  I finally gave in when Mike pointed out that she was salivating all over herself and following the food from our plates to our mouths.  I feel like such a nerd; I got so emotional when she took her first bite.  (Mike made fun of me for
crying.)  My little baby is getting bigger all of the time!

We decided to skip the grainy cereals altogether and go on with the fruits and veggies.  I've been trying to study up on what to feed her first.  I'm sure that I made it so much harder than it should be, but I really wanted to make the right choice.  I read several books and looked on tons of websites.  I finally decided on avocados.  They're full of nutrients and fats that her body needs.  I also decided to make her food instead of buying the jars from the store.  (I know, I'm kind of a hippy that way!)  We have a Vita-Mix machine and it has come in really handy!  It makes the perfect puree!  We definately scored!  Karis seems to really LOVE her avocados and gets so excited every night when its time to eat them.

Here is an awesome website for feed your baby solids if you're in the same boat I was or just want some good recipes.  http://www.wholesomebabyfood.com/
