I was browsing the net for reputable sites that could educate me on the most beneficial foods for Leon and I found www.wholesomebabyfood.com

When I went on searching for the benefits of mashed avocado as baby's first solid food, I found a very informative page that lists all the nutrients this brain food provides. Check it out here.

So for any of you new moms out there who is looking for something more nutritious to give to your 'lil ones besides the rice cereal as a first food go on ahead and mash an avocado and see how your baby will like it. Leon definitely loves it. This morning I gave him a bit more than the usual I prepare. When he finished the small container I turned to look at him and he still had his mouth open waiting for the next spoonful. So so so cute!

Solid food update:

Leon LOVES smashed avocado! It's so adorable to watch him make sense of this new eating thing he has been doing. His facial expression is great. He looks at me after a spoonful and then if I say "yay" with a smile he gives me a wide smile back.

So far so good and next week we will venture unto something new. Maybe some pureed carrots or green peas.
