Feed Self Avocado

For a couple of months now, the baby books have said that, on average, a baby Carter's age should be able to "feed self cracker." We found that difficult to understand, seeing as how a baby his age isn't really eating hard food yet. But we thought we'd try "feed self (something else)". While Carter seemed to understand what he was supposed to do, the first attempts were no good because the banana proved too slippery. However, on his third night of avocado, he finally got it together - avocado in mouth, chew, chew, swallow! Works about every fourth time.
