Boating Weekend...

We had a boating weekend not too long ago. We went out on the boat as a family of three and then took Pops' boat out the following day. 

This girl loves to drive the boat!

Addi Kate's Hobbies...

This little girl is into so many things this month. Here are just a few of her hobbies...

Reading: 

She started saying book this month and has a few books that are her favorites... Elm Book and How Does Baby Feel.

Dogs: 

She adores Kodi (which was also her first word), but she is also loving all of Jilly's dogs. This picture is too cute for words!

Writing and Drawing:

Addi will spend a lot of time writing/drawing. She does like to color, but not near as much as she likes to use a pen to write/draw. 

 

 Swimming:

 This child just LOVES water. She likes the pool, the ocean, the river, and her water table. She's our very own little mermaid!

Life is never dull with this sweet girl!

First Real Sickness...

We knew it was going to happen, but we had hoped it wouldn't happen so soon after starting school...but Addi got sick. She attended school for just three days and came down with  her first runny nose and cough,which soon followed with pink eye AND an ear infection. When we do something in the Knight Home, we do it BIG!!!

We literally made three trips to see our doctor within a week period. Here is a pic of Addi getting a breathing treatment to help break up all the mucus...

 

Bless her heart :(

Although it took her around 10 days to fully recover, she was always in a good mood and just as silly as ever. Unfortunately, we spent quite a few mornings up at the crack of dawn playing...I think mainly because she was having a hard time breathing.

Here she is at about 4:00 a.m. one morning that week...

 And then another morning we learned how much fun a box can be...

 We are so thankful for a good doctor and good medicine. Our little girl is back to normal and just as happy as ever!

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!
