Happy Halloween

I thought you may all enjoy seeing Addison in her official Halloween costume. She dressed up as a butterfly for her 1st Halloween. Jason and I had fun spending time with our friends and dressing up too! Addison was able to see so many different people on Halloween. She saw a pumpkin, a princess, a lobster, a chicken, Spiderman, Superman, a bunny and she even saw her fairy grandmother! :)

Have you started solid food yet?

This has been the question of the day. I have been going back and forth wondering how and when should we start solid food. At Addison's 4 month well check up our Dr. said that we could start anytime that we would like to between 4-6 months. I never expected that this would be such a big deal for me to transition into. I feel like breastfeeding with Addison has surprisingly been such a sweet bonding experience. Addison is certainly getting what she needs, so why would we want to change a good thing? Well I had one of those moments looking at Addison I thought back and remembered watching my mom cry as I left home for A&M my Freshman year. I am pretty sure that I rolled my eyes and thought how silly she was for crying. But now I know I am going to be the same way. Looking at Addison now, I know that I am raising her to become independent so that one day (thankfully not very soon) she will also leave her home to go on to bigger things. All of this past through my mind when I knew that Addison was showing signs that she was ready to try food. She has also been very interested in watching us eat. So, we finally tired rice cereal for the first time this Sunday. It was fun letting her get messy and experience solid food for the first time.

Baby Shower for 3

It was so much fun to have another baby shower for three girls in our home group this weekend. Keri, Anna and Kasey I cannot wait to meet your precious little ones soon! It has been such a neat experience to share this special time with so many of our close friends. Kathleen and Keri I have learned so much from watching you with your children. I know that Jason and I look forward to the many good times that are ahead.

What is Addison going to be for Halloween????

A butterfly!





I recently found some cute purple butterfly wings for Addison to wear for Halloween. I know she is a little young to be trick or treating this year, but she can sure have fun dressing up. I was trying to decide on what I would want her to wear with her wings when I got the idea to make her a tutu. I really enjoyed making her purple tutu to match her butterfly wings. I even started thinking that I would enjoy making more.

If anyone is interested in a tutu for a sweet little girl, just let me know and for a reasonable price it could be yours! There are a wide range of colors that you could make them with. I used mostly purple and a little bit of pink tulle for Addison's tutu. Addison's tutu is also made with an elastic waist, but I could also make them with a ribbon tie back for longer wear.

The Pumpkin Patch

This weekend we went to the Flower Mound Pumpkin Patch. The best part was it is free to go. I was really impressed and we will certainly go back next year. I have passed by the Pumpkin Patch for years and always wanted to go and now I have a reason. Jason and I sure had a good time posing Addison for pictures. I think that Addison will enjoy the Pumpkin Patch even more next year when she can really get to experience it.
