Getting caught up!

Hooray!  This post means I am almost all caught up (for now).

So.....the big news?  Kiptyn has a TOOTH!  

Well he has the tiniest tip of a tooth coming in, but it's there!  You can see it and feel it when he opens his mouth.  I just knew he was teething starting  few weeks ago and people kept telling me it was too early.  I guess I do have Mama instinct. ;)  I don't have any pictures of his toothy yet but as soon as I can get one I will post it.

The Santa Claus parade was fun.  The weather was beautiful and although the Timmy's lineup was WAY too long (hence we didn't get our morning java) it was a good time.  Here are some of the "littles" we met up with!

Kiptyn and I waiting for Santa

They are getting bigger!  Kiptyn and Zariah hanging out at playgroup!

Kiptyn went to sit on Santa's knee!  He was really good but didn't want to smile.  He he he...I have to post this picture next time because I need to scan it to the computer to do that and I need Dave's help with that sort of thing.  :)  Here is Kippy-boo in the car while we waited for Daddy to buy some shoes right after the photos.

Kiptyn saw his first snowfall and of course we had to get a picture.  The snow melted quite quickly at our house but they still had some on the ground at Grandma and Grandpa's house!

We went to the other Grandparent's house for a big birthday dinner.  Kiptyn loved seeing his cousins Faith and Ava.

He also enjoyed some time with his Great Grandma Ola.

It was his first experience with a Christmas tree so of course he spent some time with the lights.  Please excuse "Movember" once again.....

Look carefully at the Christmas Ball!

My favourite part of the day is spending time with the little man in the morning.  We hang out in bed a little and sing songs and "talk".  He has the sweetest face I have ever seen.

Although we only ended up seeing half of the Muppets movie last week, Kippy sure looks cute in his "Kermie" sleeper!

We are off to get some things done today so I will leave you with a few more adorable pics of my little Prince!  Enjoy the sunshine!

I just love my sleeping baby...

Winter

 I think we all have to finally accept that winter is here.  The snow has hit the ground and Christmas is everywhere.  

We have been very busy the past couple of weeks!  Although I love being on the go I also love just staying in, especially on the colder days to snuggle with my baby.  

We also went out on a date with Grandma one night, just the three of us.  Kiptyn is VERY used to going out to restaurants and wherever Mommy and Daddy need to go.  He's such a sweetheart and never any trouble.

 For my birthday Dave got me a new portrait lens for the camera.  We have been fiddling around with it a bit.  I also got some new books on photography that I think will help A LOT once I get around to reading them.  Finding the time is the hardest part!

 Kiptyn and I will be heading to Las Vegas with my parents in February to see Colleen and Tim get married!  The flight is booked and we are MORE than excited to be able to go to such an exciting event as well as see the BIG CITY LIGHTS!  Dave was unable to get the time of work (teaching is not flexible with vacation time), so we will have to take lots of pictures, bring him back a tacky souvenir, and promise to take him back with us one day.

Here is Kiptyn hanging out on Mommy's lap.  He is such a little cuddle bug at night.

 Our little Bug LOVES to be naked.  Hanging out in his diapers is quite common and getting dressed in all those layers with the colder weather doesn't make Kippy the happiest camper!

Kiptyn and I have been going to the movies a lot.  He has now seen Puss N' Boots, Jack & Jill, and the newest Twilight one (I forget what it is called), and next week we are going to the Muppet Movie!  He is such a good boy in the theatre and we always meet up with baby friends.  Here is Kiptyn sitting in the theatre seat with his girl Lily and his buddy Shane.

I am one week behind in my blogging so there is new news that I don't want to post until I have the pictures to go along with it!  Since he is still sleeping, I am going to take advantage of this time and get some more of those photos onto the computer so that I have a head start to the next blog!  Wish me luck!

Quicky!

Blog post coming this weekend....so much to catch up on but here is a quick picture!

Yes....Kiptyn is ignoring his pal Sophie the giraffe.  She's a great catch and I just don't understand!  Kiptyn has yet to become friends with any of his toys actually.  He loves to look at them but he really hasn't grasped the concept of holding them quite yet.  Although he really does love that Puppy Soother.....but that is another story.....

See you soon and thanks for reading!
