We have a tooth! (and solid food)

Yesterday while nursing, I felt in Marissa's mouth, and could feel and see the reason for all the drool, mouthing of things, and bit of fussiness lately.  Her first tooth, bottom right center incisor has officially poked through!  I think the one next to it is not too far behind either. 

So last night we officially started solids for Marissa.  I have given her a taste a couple of times over the last couple of weeks off my finger of sweet potato or avocado, but this was the first time I mashed up some avocado and gave it to her on a spoon.  She had mixed reactions, some surprise at what was this new texture and taste in her mouth, some of it came out, and then she had fun grabbing the spoon and getting some in her mouth herself.  She only took in a few bites, but that is fine as I figure now is all about introducing new tastes and textures, and 99.9% of her calories will still come from breastmilk for awhile.  Her little rolly thighs prove she is getting enough of that. ;)
