I decided to make a weeks worth of food. My husband helped. We used greenbeans, apples, avacados, and sweat potatoes.
I followed the directions from this post on baby-center

It was not hard. :) The video was just what I needed.
I decided to start her on greenbeans. I thought it might be a good idea to get her used to these before something deliciously sweet like sweet potatoes. ;)
Here's a video of her first bites!
As a first time parent, the gagging and chocking sounds were a bit scary! Especially since I had never fed a baby before. She continued to gag every-time I fed her the following days. I fed her each food for about four days in a row before switching to a new one. When I finally switched to sweet potatoes, the gagging stopped almost immediately! Apparently she loves sweet potatoes and does not actually care much for green beans. Go figure.
Here's a video of her first bites of sweet potatoes!
After two weeks, I fed her green beans again. Once again, she gagged and chocked in dramatic fashion. Such a cutie!
Just yesterday we took her to the beach. I bought an organic squeeze pouch from Target.
I took a risk and bought Mango which she had not had yet! I just hoped she would not have a reaction at the beach in front of all our friends. SHE LOVED THEM! Mangos are by far her favorite. It was so cute to watch her drink them like candy. She almost drank the whole squeeze pouch.
