Online or in a book somewhere, I read that avocados make great finger foods for babies. My son is 7 months old and enjoying his new journey into food-dom. Avocados are soft and seemed like a good idea. Boy, was I wrong! First of all, I have managed to keep the daily food experiences fairly clean and under control. Avocados as finger food, what was I thinking? This mess was out of control, not to mention the fact that little if any made it into his mouth. Good thing I had him in a Onesie that was getting too small, since it is now stained with brownish-green gack.
*Advice to self, wait until child is old enough to eat outside untethered before trying avocados, again, unsupervised with hose standing by.*

warning: bananas, if not cold and closer to green than ripe, make for the same experience as avocado! the little fingers pinch them to pick them up and like rockets they slip out of their fingers and onto the nearest target: YOU!
Good to know. I appreciate the advice.
