“Firsts” are fun and Steve and I have been pleading to be present for the twins first taste of “solid” food (not that mashed avocado with a little formula mixed in is all that “solid”!) Last night we got our wish. After much consultation and research, Mama Woo Bear was ready to give it a go. Of the options offered up by the docs and specialists, she chose avocado for its high fat content (though all the experts say “don’t worry” about Gracie’s petiteness… she’s doing just fine.) It was a big day for the twins, starting with a visit to the pediatrician where they got shots. Ouch. Emmett wasn’t feeling quite himself so he might like food better today. He definitely wasn’t enthralled with the spoon but avocado off of Grandpa’s finger was kind of interesting. Gracie took it all in stride, thoughtfully considering each bite in her usual Gracie way. Mama Westi reports no ill effects today and Grandma Laura and Grandpa Steve are looking forward to more fun food adventures to come!
