Knight Baby #3 is a...

GIRL!

You can see the Girl parts below noted in the 19 week ultrasound on Monday, February 13.  Just look for the arrow.  :)

 In this picture you can see her beautiful profile.  Her arm is resting on her head in this picture too.

We are thrilled to be having another daughter.  Evan quickly got excited about the idea too.  We were not sure as he was pulling for a boy since he already had his sister, Evie.  However, the thought of now being the big brother of two sisters was pretty neat! :)  Evie was happy too.  She wasn't too picky with the gender.  I especially love that I get to have two girls.  All the hairbows and pretty dresses will continue to go to good use!  Now Evie and I will both get to help dress up Baby Girl #3. :)

Now some pics of the Baby Bump (which is popping out a lot faster and bigger with Baby #3).

Here are the kids and I at 17 weeks on February 5 right before church.

Here is everyone again on February 11 at 18 weeks, 1 day away from 19 weeks technically.  These pictures make me giggle.  Especially Evie, you can see how she is posing like Mommy below. :)

The kids are very excited about Baby #3 too.

Then last but not least, a little more of a profile picture on February 20 at 20 weeks.

Hidden Falls Regional Park

We went on a nice family trip this past Saturday, February 18 to Hidden Falls Regional Park.  Jim learned about it while he was getting his haircut recently at Sports Clips. :)  It is a beautiful park in Auburn that actually has a trail to a waterfall.  Here is a family picture of all of us during our hike.

Here are some pictures from one of the stops along the trail.

Evan climbing on some rocks near a stream under a bridge.  He was loving it!  He loved the hike in general too and pretty much ran most of the way to the falls.

And here are the falls...

Evie fell asleep before we made it to the falls in the stroller.  We actually had to leave our stroller along the trail for the last 200 yards or so because it was very rocky.  Daddy then carried Evie the rest of the way.

Here she is all cocked out.

However, she woke up before we left the falls.  So she did get to see the final results of our hike. :)

...and this was Evan on our walk back to our car- he passed out!  The walk back was definitely a little more challenging, especially as most of the walk back was up hill.

Let's just say our normal double stroller got a work out along with Daddy's arms!  It was a great activity though and we all enjoyed being out doors and surrounded by God's beautiful creation. :)  

Valentine's Day Activities

We had a LOVELY :) Valentine's Day this year.  Here is Evie helping Mommy frost some sugar cookies for friends and family.  It was some crazy, messy cookie fun on February 9.

Evie's favorite part was sampling the frosted cookies as we worked. :)

That night the kids actually got some awesome Valentine gift's from Grandma and Grandpa and Grandma Shirley.  Here they are enjoying some Valentine Thomas the Train stickers from Grandma Shirley.

Evan with a new giant Fire Truck puzzle from Grandma and Grandpa.

Here is the gang working hard to put the puzzle together.

Here is Evie with a new Dora activity book.

Lastly, I leave you with my two adorable Valentine's Day Cuties actually on Valentine's Day.

A little Valentine smooch :)

Kids with Valentine Basket's from Mommy and Daddy.  There favorite was the M&M's that were included.  They also got a special McDonald's lunch with Mommy after we went to Bible Study that morning.  At their Bible Study classes they handed out a few Valentines and cookies and candy to their buddies too.

And last but not least, a picture of them with their Valentine cards that night from Daddy and Mommy. :)

Hope you all had a wonderful Love Day too!  

Tunnels

The kids always have a great time making tunnels.  Here they are on February 10th with flashlights in hand as they explore their creation.  

The tunnel masterpiece!

Evie's Birthday Celebrations with Family

Evie celebrating with Pops on January 5.  She was very excited to be able to open a present.

January 7 we visited with Grandma Knight and Aunt Alison at Rainforest Cafe in Downtown Disney.  The servers sang Happy Birthday to Evie, she didn't really know what to think and then she wanted Evan to help her blow out her candle. :)  Big brother to the rescue.

However, she didn't have any trouble eating the ice cream sundae.  Yummy!

Here is a picture of us hanging out all together.  Don't you love Evan's intentional pose.  He didn't want to look at the camera.  And they told me to make sure to lean forward so I look really slouched...memories. :)

Evie with her new adorable boots from Grandma Knight.

Here she is with a beautiful dress from Aunt Alison.

Evie with Aunt Alison and Grandma Knight walking around Downtown Disney.  She had the best time.

Then her family birthday with the Thompson's and Grandma Shirley on January 15.  Here she is posing pretty with Daddy and her Minnie Mouse cake.

Here she is right before we sang Happy Birthday to her.  I just love her cheesy little smile.  After we sang Happy Birthday she tried blowing out the candles, but again wanted Evan's help.  They have the sweetest little relationship.  I am in awe.  The best part is once the candles were out, she immediately asked for a fork to dig in. :)

Yummy!

Here again, she was loving all the gift opening!  Just look at that smile.

Lastly, a picture of the little princess with Grandma Thompson and Grandma Shirley.

2 year Check-Up

Our beautiful little 2 year old.  Here she is in the car after the appointment holding her new book from Dr. Doan.  She is also wearing her sticker, but you can't see it on her shirt.

We had a great 2 year well check appointment on January 19.  Evie is currently 30 1/2 inches, except the doctor felt that she might have wiggled a bit during measuring because he thought she was a little bit taller than this, just a little bit taller. :)  Her weight was 23 lbs and 9.8 oz.  Her head measured 18 1/2 inches.  She continues to be pretty petite in size and we wouldn't have it any other way.  We love her so much!  The doctor thought she was doing great and was developing very well.  He was impressed with her speech and communication.  At this appointment Evie didn't have to get any shots, but did get the flu mist in her nose and no tears at all.  She was such a trooper.  Way to go Evie!

The cool Thomas train at the Doctor's office.  The kids wanted me to take a picture of it for them.

They also posed with it for me. :)

Sure to love these kids! :)  Here's to a healthy year ahead.

Evie's First Haircut

Evie got her first haircut right at the start of the new year.  We took her to my friend's salon in Auburn.  It was so nice and the whole family actually got to get in on the hair cutting fun; both Jim and Evan also got their haircut. :)  Here is our beautiful girl pictured below with Joceyln.

The salon has a little firetruck chair and lots of fun toys for the kids to play with while they wait (Evan liked this a lot).

This is the before picture.

Evie did amazing.  She wasn't nervous at all.  She has been wanting to get her hair cut for awhile, especially when she sees everyone else get it done. :)  Here are some more pictures of the haircut in action.

Evie was following directions real good.

She loved trying to drive the firetruck.

Jocelyn making sure everything was just right at the end.

Then Evie got to pick out a special hair barrette.

Ta Da!!!

Here is a final pic with a smile.

And the back.   Joceyln basically just evened out Evie's hair.  If you didn't know about the cut you probably wouldn't notice, but Evie loved it and I think her hair looks a lot thicker and fuller now. :) Thanks Jocelyn for an amazing job with our little girl.

Lastly, a picture of the whole family at the event.  It was a fun day in Auburn with some Taco Tree and haircuts.  Couldn't ask for a better time together with family. :)
