Sophia has been into these smoothie/mash up/squeezable fruit/veggie things lately. They go on sale sometimes so I buy them for when we are out and about (so much easier than taking messy Tupperware with homemade food in it). When she was first eating solids, it would take her 2-3 attempts to finish the whole thing. Now, she sucks it all down in one breath practically and then looks at me like, 'where is the rest?' It is fun that she can do it on her own now. Also, she is very interested in the lid and tries to screw it on and off herself (she did get it off successfully once alone!)
This morning I made my own smoothie for her...fresh organic spinach with beets and frozen banana. I used prune juice to combine it all (gotta keep my girl regular!) :) She seemed to really enjoy it! the beets make the smoothie a gorgeously beautiful color but super stain-able so Mama put her bib on nice and tight. :) Now she can eat to her heart's content since I made a whole blender's worth!

My Aaron likes to squeeze those when they are NOT in his mouth...you can imagine the fun that happens :). So I tend to hold it for him. I'm glad you found a good way to use beets...hopefully it wasn't as messy as mine!! :) (This is Christie Sheats, by the way)
That's a great idea! SJ's only eating issue is that she is not generally a fan of visible vegetables. I'm going to try this smoothie concept...
