Due to Alistair's reflux issues, our pedi recommended that we start rice cereal at 4 months. Since he was already having cereal earlier, we moved on to regular solids at 5 months. His first food was avocado, which I heard was one of those fruits babies either love or hate. Alistair absolutely loved it (he seems to love anything shoveled into his mouth, he even cries sometimes to have *more* of his medication); his only problem was that he couldn't stand the whole, spoonful, pause, another spoonful business. He wanted the spoon *in* his mouth, with a constant stream of food flowing in. So, while he would coo for the first bite, he would quickly throw a tantrum at having the spoon taken out of his mouth.
With some love and patience, he's gradually gotten better, and realizes that the spoon *will* come back - but he just looks so darn cute when he eats that he makes up for his fussiness.
