Alia had a good time at Grandma's house. She was a little skiddish of the dogs at first (she just had to remember them) and did not like the kitten. But then we bought a cat toy with feathers. She only liked the cat when she was holding that toy.

Sunday afternoon we went to the Butterfly Palace.

A butterfly actually landed on Alia.

Alia loved playing with Tess.

Here she is all packed up and ready to go home.

Between my mother and myself we bought her some new clothes, some new pajamas, and 2 pairs of shoes (1 brown and 1 black). She also hasn't had any baby food since we went down there. She's been eating real food cut up all weekend. She'll be 11 months on the 6th.
