10 weeks of Kippy-boo!

So I have been taking photos of Kiptyn each week since he was born to put in an album when he turns 1 year old...so far we have 10 photos!

Of course each week brought a new challenge. One week he was crying, one week he was sleeping, we had to change his chair for nursing purposes, the blanket was in the wash etc., therefore each week is a little bit different but you can really see how fast he is growing (week 2-3 is insane)! I swear he just keeps getting cuter and cuter!

Here is Kiptyn, week 1-10:

I think I will post these pics in groups of 10 so we will be back at week 20! I also have a bunch of Thanksgiving weekend pictures to post and update about later this week.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend and enjoyed the BEAUTIFUL weather!

Apple Land Station!

We were so excited to go apple picking with the Welbourn side of the family last weekend. It turned out to be a beautiful day!

First Stop: The Gala Apples!

We started out watching Daddy pick some while Kiptyn and I enjoyed a taste test.

Then we decided that the best apples were at the TOP of the tree!

Faith and Ava had some fun and a little help too!

Then it was onto the other apples so Grandma and Grandpa Welbourn could pick for their annual batch of applesauce.

Next we went to the pumpkin patch, and the petting zoo and to sit on the hay and take some family pics!

All in all...a FUN day!

Kiptyn is LOVING all of the bright coloured toys lately. We have been getting a few out over the past week and watching his reaction. I could seriously eat this kid up..and look at that strength in his neck!

(Yeah...I don't know why the picture below refuses to rotate...sorry!)

We also went for a walk to the neighbourhood park and through the woods last weekend. We certainly enjoyed the beautiful warm weather, it was an outdoor weekend!

SuperBaby!

My Tiny Bug

A walk in the woods. It is hard to tell a baby is even in there!

We have been very busy every day with Baby Boot camp, meeting friends and family, appointments, play groups, and soon we will have a class in baby massage! So many exciting things and having a little guy to do it with makes it even more exciting!

Thanks again for reading!

Busy Bees

Lets start by saying...although seemingly "girly", these night dresses are the BEST thing in the middle of the night when changing the little man and trying not to disturb him too much. And this little Bug looks kinda manly in it still doesn't he? Lol

We are loving the hats again. He doesn't mind wearing hats once more (maybe it was a rebellious phase already), but I am so glad because we have lots of hats to boot!

This past week we met up with some of the other mamas and babies that I have been chatting with online since I learned I was pregnant last year. We met for lunch at Eastside Marios and it was so much fun! Nine moms and nine babies all born within a month or so of one another! I can't wait until our next get-together!

Can you spot Kiptyn and Me?

We attended Mom and Baby Boot Camp before we met them for lunch. I think I had it pretty easy compared to the other moms at boot camp who were lifting their 1 year old when I just had a little 8 week old in my arms. Kiptyn was POOPED after our big day!

Booties!

Kiptyn has started looking at the little dangling animals and rattles on his playmat a bit more this week. I caught him looking at the mirror one afternoon and snapped a few shots. Too cute!

With the fall weather we have been keeping warm in our cozy sweaters. We don't have a coat small enough for Kiptyn yet so we are depending on the few sweaters he has until he grows a bit more. I don't want him to get any bigger! :)
