Benjamin had a big day yesterday; he tried his first solid food, avocado! We were going to wait awhile longer, basically until he had mastered sitting up by himself. However, over the past couple of weeks he has made it very clear that he was ready for some real food. He has been watching intently when we eat, at times grabbing for our food or utensils and he has been very very unhappy at mealtimes when we are eating and he is not. His doctor had given the okay a couple of weeks ago so we decided to give it a go. And it was a big success. Similar to his big sister he had no problem at all eating from the spoon. In fact, Andrew couldn’t get the food to his mouth fast enough. In contrast to Julia though, Benjamin wanted to do it himself and kept trying to take the spoon out of Andrew’s hands. So he ended up with his own spoon to hold while Andrew managed the spoon with the food. It ended with Benjamin looking like this:
Bon Appetit, Benjamin!
