Solid food-YUM YUM!

We started Joshua on solid foods today.  I decided a long time ago that I wanted to make his baby food. Believe it or not I have been super excited to start making his food.  I have been doubly excited to use this bad boy…
...my Baby Bullet! (A baby shower gift from my awesome friend!)
We started him out on avocado mixed with breast milk (doesn't that sound delicious) instead of the traditional rice cereal.  At first it was a little weird for this rule follower to go against the grain but I did a lot of research on it and we both felt comfortable with our decision. 
He did pretty well.  He was very eager to try it at first but once he got a taste he wasn't so sure.  He had some funny reactions.  His reaction was like we gave him something sour.  After he swallowed a bite we would wait a little bit before giving him another bite.  In between bites he would randomly quiver.  It was like whenever he remembered what had just happened it would make him shudder.   
Here are some pictures of his first meal
He has no idea what's coming.

"Oh yea!  Bring that spoon on over here!"

"I got this!"

"On second thought..."

"What was that stuff?"

Next on the menu is sweet potatoes!
