Simone ate her first food today, and it was as if she has been eating all along - she was clearly ready! It was very fun to watch her eat, and hopefully this is the beginning of a very healthy relationship with food. The new recommendation is to start with veggies rather than cereal. I like this idea, as it goes with the new food recommendations for more fruits and veggies and less starchy carbs (did I get that right??). Anyway, she doesn't seem any worse for wear for starting with avocado rather than rice cereal. Enjoy the video!
