B-A-N-A-N-A-S!

So, if I would've tried real bananas with my first child when he was Hudson's age (5 mo.) I'm sure he would've thrown the bowl at my head. No joke. The kid was all puree, all the time. I tried, and tried, and tried, and tried to get him to eat more than baby food. He wasn't having it. Then Hudson came along and it's an entirely different story. Tonight we tried a real mashed up banana for the first time and let me tell ya, he LOVED it! I mixed a little formula with it just because I have a super irrational fear of choking and it pretty much made his night. Avocado is next on the list of "real" foods to try!
