Words...

Addi has started to say a few words and we finally were able to get them on video. She has been talking since she was only a few months old...but she is finally starting to put meaning behind the words and identify what each word means. 

So far, she can say Kodi (this is her favorite word), bubble, Momma, Daddy, and pool. We are working on D-ma, Jilly, Pops, cat and dog, but she hasn't quite mastered those yet.

We were trying to get Addi on video again saying all her words, but she realized that there was a cute little baby in the  phone and had to stop and wave at her.

 This video makes me laugh EVERY SINGLE TIME I watch it :)

Memorial Day and Birthdays...

We spent the last few weekends celebrating Memorial Day, D-ma's birthday, and Grammy's birthday. I wasn't kidding when I mentioned a few posts ago that our life has been busy!!!

I'm not sure where Addi picked up how to wave a flag, but ever since Memorial Day weekend, she's been wanting to play with this flag and waves it all around...  

We took Addi to the park for a big 90 birthday celebration for Grammy. Although the weather was terrible and raining, she enjoyed running all over the park.

 

And did I mention that Addi LOVES Grammy?!?! Look at these sweet birthday kisses she gave her great-grandmother...

 

I hope she always has this love for people :)

Summer is HERE!

Summer is finally here and we've been spending quite a bit of time outside. Our pool is tolerable...although I would prefer it a little warmer :) But of course Addison doesn't mind the chill at all.

 

We have been working on teaching Addi how to swim and she's doing pretty good so far. She kicks when we tell her to and grabs on to the side. We are working on teaching her how to walk her hands along the side so she can get to the steps. We are hoping that in a few more weeks, she will have mastered the water!!!

I am so thankful for Addi's relaxed, go-with-the-flow behavior. We can take her any where and she's so good. Here she is at a restaurant as we waited for our food...just look at the lips/mouth on this sweet girl...isn't she beautiful?!?!?

Our little family of THREE is looking forward to what the summer brings!

Rewind...

I am rewinding the time today and trying to catch up on the life and times of our sweet baby girl. Time has seriously gotten away from me, as it has been almost an entire month since my last post :( With the school year coming to an end, I found myself attending end-of-year concerts and performances, banquets, graduation, birthday parties, and the list goes on and on. So I plan to catch up this week now that my schedule has finally slowed down.

We spent the afternoon with our neighbors (a few weeks ago) watching the kids play. I think Addi looks so grown up at this table with her friend...

What am I saying?!?! She HAS grown up :( 

 

 

Of course she is mine, but I must say that I think she's the smartest, sweetest, and prettiest little girl. She LOVES people and after she gets over her 1 minute shy-phase, she will be your best friend.  She is definitely still an outdoor-girl and loves to get wet...in the pool, in the sprinkler, with the water hose. Here we are dangling our feet in the pool one afternoon.

 I don't think we could love Addi Kate anymore if we tried...our hearts burst with love every single day that we spend with our little angel.
