Homemade baby food

So far we've tried several different jarred foods, organic beach nut, and she hates all of them.

Then I gave her an organic avocado that I mashed myself, and she loved it.

The then I try to steam and mash some organic carrots, and it was still pretty chunky. I tried putting them our ninja... and it was not working, probably because it was less than half a cup.

What are some of the food processors or baby blenders that you guys have used? How well do they work? How expensive are they?

Any suggestions on easier methods?
