February - Fun with Ami
Whoever said it could be this much fun?
 |
| February 5th - 7 months old. |
 |
| Biff knows he is safe when Amira is in her basket. |
 |
| Jazz Hands! |
 |
| So literal. |
 |
| She is so close to crawling. |
 |
| Oshkosh B'Gosh! |
 |
| Amira opening a present from Tenley. The hat is super-cute, but she liked the tissue paper the best. |
 |
| Todd and Amira! |
 |
| Such a happy girl! |
 |
| Klang Kunst! |
 |
| Babushka! But seriously, it is in her DNA. |
 |
| I could watch her sleeping for hours. I think she looks like her aunt Heather here. |
 |
| This is what it looks like when daddy feeds her. |
 |
| And this is what she looks like when she feeds herself. |

First foods! A culinary adventure.
"Why in the world would you feed her avocado??"
That's what my grandma said when I told her what we chose as Ami's first food.
Well, I guess my best reason is because she is a California girl. But seriously, avocado is a great first food for a baby. The texture is smooth and creamy, it is rich in good fats and lots of vitamins, and best of all, you don't have to cook it. Babies rarely have an allergic reaction to it and it's not a simple carb, like white rice cereal. See how Amira felt about it:

 |
| "Exciting!!" |
 |
| "What the??" |
 |
| "Blech!" |
 |
| "But the spoon sure is delicious!" |
 |
| "I can feed myself!" |
 |
| "OK, we can try that again..." |
 |
| "What the???" |
 |
| "I love avocado!" |
 |
| "Butternut squash?" |
 |
| "Yeah, I like that too." |
