What's green, tastes like guacamole and is all over Campbell's face?

Today Campbell crossed another milestone . . . she had her first "non-breast milk" meal. Tonight, for the first time, Campbell had a solid food, avocado.

Martha did some reading and decided to skip rice cereal for her first food. We might come back to it later, but she read that it often causes constipation and that babies with reflux have even more trouble with that, so we'll stick with foods that are safer in that area.

Campbell did really well and we think she actually got some in her tummy as well as all over her face!

Here is Campbell's face pre-meal:

Hi Comptons! Congrats on that first "solid" food - and for having such a clean face at meal's end. Truly - that's not messy (or maybe I just have extremely messy children....). Good luck with the new menu!
