Ava's First Meal

So we wanted to wait as long as possible to start Ava on solid foods and make sure her tummy was good and ready for them. We were waiting for her to show some real interest in what we were eating. Well last Friday we were at a pizza party at GFA following their biannual day of deep cleaning and Ava was trying to grab everything off our plates and grabbing our cups and trying to drink out of them so I knew she was ready. She REALLY wanted some of that pizza! She is an Italian after all!

So the next morning we fed her some rice cereal and boy was she excited. As I think the following pictures and video clip will prove. Since then she's been eating a little rice cereal and also started eating some avocado and loves them both. Next will be sweet potatoes . . .

We spent Thanksgiving with our friends Matt and Amy McDaniel at Amy's parents house. We had a great time with them. Although Ava didn't get to partake of the Thanksgiving dinner we did take a picture of her holding onto the turkey leg (a tradition of my Grandma Dot's) and she stuck it right in her mouth. I think she really wished she had some teeth.

We hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving weekend!



Yum Yum

I'll do it myself, thank you very much.

This is the hat I made for her with my mom while she was here. There's matching mittens too.
