Baby Food Update

Addison tried a new baby food this morning. She tried pears and she loved them! We tried bananas first and the texture is so thick. The pears are not so thick in texture and I think that is why Addison liked them! We are working our way through the fruits first and then we will move on to the vegetables!

Cereal and Bananas ... Yum!

This morning for breakfast Addison ate her cereal like she's been doing for several weeks now, but this morning I decided to introduce baby food to her. She had bananas with her cereal this morning. The first bite was a small one and I think she liked it because it was different than the cereal, but as the feeding went on she began making these "sour" and "yucky" faces as if she didn't like the bananas anymore. I took some pictures so you could see her reaction.

Butterflies

I have recently noticed butterflies flying around our house. I'm not just talking about 1 or 2, but several everyday are flying around our house. I then began to notice that there are several cocoons hanging around on the back of our house. I have never seen so many cocoons in one place in my life. I decided to take some pictures of the cocoons. Here are some of them I have spotted.

A few days later I noticed that butterflies were coming out of their cocoons! It was pretty cool to see the butterfly hanging there. I decided to do some research on the whole life cycle of a caterpillar becoming a butterfly and I discovered that butterfly wings are wet when they emerge from their cocoon and they are also deflated. The butterfly has to let it's wings dry and also releases this red dye into it's viens to inflate the wings. Once this process takes place then the butterfly will fly away on it's journey. Here are some pictures of the butterfly once it has come out of the cocoon.

Auburn Football Game

Addison went to her first Auburn Football Game this year. Auburn's season started last Saturday when they played LA Tech and Auburn won! Addison had a great time at the game. She made it to the 3rd quarter, but it was getting late so we left early. We had a great time cheering for the Auburn Tigers to win. The eagle, Nova, flew before kick-off. I posted some pictures from our Auburn Football experience with Addison and other family members below.
