School...

Addi Kate started school this month. We found the cutest little school close to our home and she was finally about to start in August. She has ALWAYS loved people, so we knew school would be a success. And we were right! 

Here are a few pictures from Addi's first day of school...

She loves pointing out the letters and numbers...

Oh my stars...isn't she just the cutest thing ever?!?!?

Addi walked into school like such a big girl and enjoyed looking at all the kids in each room...

 

This next picture is so sweet, yet so sad that the same time...

 

What a BIG girl :(

Momma did really well the entire morning, until she saw this sign on the door...

 I'm not sure what it was, but the sweet sign on the door sent me into major tears!!!

But at the end of our day, we received this report and it looked like she had a fabulous first day of school...

We are SO proud of you Addi Kate and we hope you always love school, learning, and making friends!

Bad Mom Alert!!!

I am ashamed that it has taken me so long for me to blog about our sweet little Addi Kate. The summer just got away from me...bad mom alert!!! I definitely continued to take a TON of pictures through the past almost TWO months. So be prepared for blogging overload for the next few weeks :)

I'll start off by posting Addi's monthly birthday pics...

 Addi continues to amaze us at all the new things she's learning to say and do. She continues to be an outside girl and enjoys playing in the water, swimming, watering plants, chasing Kodi, and riding in her toy car. Her vocabulary is off the charts...a few of her newest words during her 17th month birthday were circle, kitty cat, balloon, boo-boo, and the letters D and K. 

She loves ice cream and Daddy normally gives her a little ice cream treat after dinner at night. One of my most favorite moments is coming home from work and having Addi run to me and give me the biggest hug in the world. Gosh I love her SO!

Here is Addison on her 18 month birthday...

She is looking more and more like a little girl and it is absolutely killing us to see her growing up so fast :( 

This past month she has started to repeat just about everything we say! Some new words are Pops, Kodi Outside, a lot of letters...A, T, K, D, P, bubblebee, berries, boat, and I could go on forever! I'm sure a lot of this growth is due to the fact that Addi started school this month. She has learned so much from her teachers and her friends.  Unfortunately though, Addi also got sick for the first time this month...which was NOT fun. But she's all better now and running around like crazy!! 

She is definitely the sweetest and cutest ball of energy we know!

We love you Addi Kate...MORE than the world!

Little Drummer Girl...

Swimming Video...

Swim Addi Swim!!!

Beach Baby Continues...

This girl LOVES the water...I'm not surprised, since we both do too. And we have spent a LOT of time in the pool and at the beach already this summer. We are working on teaching her to swim and hope that she will be able to do it on her own before the summer is over!

We are in a stage that sunglasses and sun hats are cool now! So every time Addison sees her glasses or a hat, she puts it on...

She is obsessed with the waves at the beach and gets tickled every time the waves hit her feet...

We attended a pool birthday party of a friend, and Addi enjoyed swimming with the big kids and drinking her juice box :)

This picture CRACKS ME UP!!!! 

Here is a pic of Addi with one of her sun hats...those lips!!!

I'll share a video of Addi swimming in my next post...it's the cutest thing ever!

July 4, 2014...

We had a great July 4th this year. We spent time with friends and family and of course, enjoyed every minute with our sweet little girl.

The week of July 4th, Addi Kate turned 17th months old...what?!?! Time is flying by WAY TOO FAST! 

At 17 months Addi has an extensive vocabulary. She's added the following words this month...cheese, teeth, bubble bee, circle, poo poo, moo moo moo (for cow), thank you, bye bye (she has been waving for MONTHS, but finally says the word when she does it), and she sings e-i-e-i-o :)

On July 4th, we set up tents at the beach and invited a lot of our family and friends. We spent the entire day at the beach, swimming, playing  in the sand, and enjoying the beautiful weather.

Addi likes to do everything that Mikey does...so here she is playing with the flags in the sand...

We couldn't keep this girl out of the water and here she is with Aunt Bubbles...

And here are some random pictures of our gorgeous girl in her red, white, and blue :)

Hope everyone had a great July 4th!
