Avocado

I liked today. Jake came home after a long 6 day stretch, I got to catch up with a good friend, we were able to FaceTime with Jake's parents and (the best part) we napped. :) We also introduced Isaac to his first solid food! (pictures to follow) I was much more proactive in getting photos today, so I will share today's news through those.

My dear friend, Rachel.

Isaac acts very interested in food, so I have been aching to begin him on solids, but I wanted to wait until Jake came home. Originally I was going to wait until his 6 month birthday, but it's only one week away, so what the heck! I decided we would start him on avocado. This may have been a little ambitious, since (as my mother pointed out) it is not sweet at all like breast milk. I did try to mix some breast milk in to help the transition, but, well, you can see from the photos...

Started off good

hmmm

what is this taste?

it's suppose to go down my throat?

What did you give me?!

He ate it, but I wouldn't say he did so with gusto. Perhaps we'll do something sweeter for his half birthday, like applesauce. I can't believe we're already at this point in his development! Exciting times.

Isaac had a good time talking with his Michigan grandparents:

And my favorite part of our day- napping.

These Springsteen boys love their naps!
