Road trip! At 8 months, we celebrated Niko’s first tooth by introducing him to some actual solids. I’m talking non-mashed, use-your-gums-and-ridiculous-amounts-of-saliva kind of solids. While visiting his Aunt Ariana in San Francisco, we fed him some delicious sourdough bread from Basque Boulangerie in Sonoma (we kept the wine for ourselves).

Auntie A made sure his bread-nomming technique was ship shape.

Since his first food was avocado, we thought he might be ready to try a black bean burrito with avocado in it. He seemed interested in Megan’s lunch from Papalote Mexican Grill, so we thought, why not! Turns out we were witness to the first of many burrito face-plants.

That said, he seems to have an equal affinity for eating his own shoes, so I won’t go thinking his tastes have become so refined…

Next dispatch, we’ll be reporting again from the East Coast!
