So many foods

El really took to bananas.  After those first few days of uncertainty, she started to get impatient with Mom and me if we took too long between spoonfuls.  Seriously, she can be bossy.  But she didn't show any signs of allergic reaction, so we moved on to the next food - avocados!  These she took to just as slowly as bananas:

Her reluctance did not prevent her from getting it all over her face, obviously.  And just like bananas, after a few days she was sure enjoying them.  I quickly discovered that this so-called superfood does have a nasty side effect with babies in the diaper region.

Tonight, we hit food number three - sweet peas.

Surprisingly, they're not as messy as the other two.  Or, at least, we did not find them in her ears, nose and soaked into the straps on her highchair.  El is handling it really well, though.  She seems very surprised the first time we give her a new food, but after a few spoonfuls, she's over it and wanting more.
