More solidy solids

This past week Kristin and I have upped the solids quotient. Thursday I gave her avocado mashed with a fork. I left little chunks in the mix -- small enough that she wouldn't choke, but large enough that she would notice them. At first she wasn't exactly sure what to do with the harder pieces, so she swallowed the softer mush and pushed the chunks out with her tongue, where after a few bites they began to look like a little goatee (I didn't wipe them off right away because I thought they looked cute). By the end of the feeding session, though, she was gumming like a champ!
