Adventures


Well Hello!

Things have been busy in our household (what else is new?).  Kiptyn and I have been keeping very busy each day with playgroups, baby massage classes, starting solids class, boot camp, and getting ready for Halloween.  We have also had an exciting week of visits and parties from family and friends.

Little Man has started watching TV!  His first show?  The Lady Gaga concert.  Way to go you little monster!  He was in awe of her....lol.


He also loves to watch sports with his Daddy.



And he is learning "belly button"...lol


His favourite time of day? 
BATH TIME!




We had a visit from Megan and Cole a couple of weeks ago....the two are 6 weeks apart!  My how fast they grow in that month!  Look how BIG my Bug is compared to Cole! (They both just woke up hence the hands in their face).


Kiptyn also has a girlfriend...Zarhia...who we see every Tuesday.  Too cute! (Again...I don't know why this photo won't flip!)


Little Carter and Kiptyn sat on the couch in the same Elmo pj's last week!  Carter kissed Kiptyn on the head...it was adorable.  Too bad we missed the kiss.  We are going to try to get a few more shots of them in these before they outgrow them!


We went for a walk to the park one day when it was really sunny.  




We also have been walking to the pond nearby to feed the ducks.  I LOVE this neighbourhood!  This day wasn't quite as warm and we had to bundle the baby up!



He LOVES those little "Bugs" hanging over his carseat.



Mornings are the BEST! This little man sure knows how to charm us with his faces and smiles!









We had a GREAT time at Kathy's house with the old Original Kids Gang!  I MISS these guys SO MUCH since most of them are in Toronto now.  When we get together however, it is just like old times...and they LOVE our Little Man which makes this Mama so happy!

Here's to a FUN night!


All of my favourite MEN!





Teaching Kiptyn early how to have a good time...lol...don't you just love their faces!?!?!


As always, the photos are HILARIOUS.





One last snuggle with Uncle Morgan before we head home.


What a great night.  Kiptyn was pooped by the end of it.


That's all for now!  Excited for the rest of this week!  Playgroup in the morning and Rebecca visits tomorrow, and FOUR Halloween parties this weekend....if we can make it to all of them that is.....

 
Have a HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!

Thanksgiving Weekend



 What a FANTASTIC weekend it was!


We started out Friday night by celebrating Colleen's birthday.  Since we are usually at a cottage for Thanksgiving weekend and we didn't end up getting one this year,  we were finally able to celebrate with her.  Here is little Kiptyn all ready for the party!

Here is the birthday girl with the fruit turkey that I made...lol.  Also, I attempted to make turkey cookies.  They are not as beautiful as I had hoped but they were good!  They had an Oreo Cookie on the inside of the chocolate chip one!  YUM.




Saturday we travelled to Ancaster to finally introduce Kiptyn to Dave's side of the family and to enjoy a beautiful Turkey dinner!  Love his face when we arrived.

He really enjoyed this playmat!




I just LOVE this face!!!!


Family



Sunday we went to another Thanksgiving celebration on the other side of the family.  Kiptyn met his cousin Jackson who ADORED our little man.  I LOVE how our family and friends love our baby.



After dinner we went home and had some snuggles and naps from the big turkey meal!  My heart melted when I woke up to this...


Little Bug has started to realize that his feet are actually attached to him!

Here is one that Dave captured later that night while my Tiny Mister and I were sleeping on the couch.


Finally, we ended off the weekend at Springbank park and went into Storybook Gardens to enjoy the beautiful weather and family once more.








Both John and I enjoyed the slide with Faith and Ava!



Big Kids

 Big Kiss

I couldn't be more thankful.
