A couple professional pics

The week of K's birthday I took the kids to get professional pics done by Kaileen Galhouse. She is amazing! Here are the three negatives that I got from her! I love love love them and they will be in my house soon I hope! I got some neked 1st birthday ones of Kippy....which I'm sure he will hate me later on, but that is ok. They are adorable

.

Kiptyn's ONE year stats

Height: 32 inches, 98th percentile

Weight: 24.6 pounds, 75th percentile

Head- 18.5 cm, around the 50th percentile

He got three shots and screamed like a champ! But he is doing well. We are just trying to figure out his diarrhea and we will be all good! We are off of everything now, except fruits, veggies and meats. We even took him off meats for a couple days and it did nothing. So I'm not sure what is going on. We have upped his bottles to get at least 24 ounces a day. We go back to the GI doc on the 7th of Dec to check again. His weight has not made a steady climb, so she was kind of concerned about that. We are getting our synages shot this week! Dr. W has hooked us up with a free one since we are changing insurances!

His recent doings:

--waves bye bye and hello to everyone!

--says mama, caca, dada

--said zebra the day of his year appt because Dr. W had one on this stethoscope

--will walk a couple steps with a walker toy and will cruise hanging on things

--is a fearless child! he stands on a rocking chair rocking himself

--he dives head first off the bed, couch and down two steps; again goes back to being fearless!

--just a happy child, everyone just loves him and his smiles and laughs

--has 8 teeth

That is all I can think of right now.

Happy 1st Birthday Kiptyn and Kylie!

A day late, but mommy was busy making monkey cupcake cakes! We hope you guys had a great birthday. We dropped Haley off at school and then Kiptyn and I headed to the chiropractor and to pick out some pictures that we took a couple days before. Then we headed to the dollar store to buy to you guys some balloons and then went back to pick up Haley. We then headed home for a nap for Kiptyn. Then we met Pastor Meredith, Daddy, Mimi and Papi at the cemetery for a short headstone blessing and a balloon release! Then we went for an early dinner at Red Robin. It was all in all a good day. We honored our Ky Ky and celebrated Kiptyn.

There they go!

So big!

Sleepy head!

Today we had a party to celebrate and we had all our dear friends there celebrating with us. I made some awesome monkey cupcake cakes and the wonderful McCabe's made Kiptyn and allergy free monkey cake! He tore into it and was covered in chocolate icing! It was great to see him enjoy it so much! We also received many stuffed animals in honor of Kylie to give to Two Tiny Hands. We are really, really blessed to have such great friends to give stuffed animals to support a cause that is so near and dear to us. Thank you, thank you and thank you to all our dear friends.

The icecream cake!

Happy birthday song!

Happy 1st Birthday Kiptyn and Kylie!

Haley's school Halloween parade!

Haley had her Halloween parade at school today, so I decided to put Kiptyn one of his outfits too! Then he and I went to Target to do some shopping and then got to school just in time to see Haley do her parade. It was really cute!


Breakfast time all dressed up!


Meow!


Kiptyn drinking his bottle in Target! I had to distract him to have him leave the hat on his head!


Haley in her parade holding her teachers hand.


Isnt she the cutest?


She was so excited to see mama and Kippy!


Haley walking with her teacher!


Her art work!


With her teachers!


She is such a ham.

Trunk or Treat at church

On Wednesday, the church had a potluck dinner and then Trunk or Treat in the parking lot. People decorated their trunks and handed out candy as the kids trick or treated. It was a fun time, other than being very hot! We had to come up with another costume so they wouldn't be too hot!


Haley, Ellie and Charlie trick or treating at the Dyson's trunk. Courtney is the little ladybug!


Kiptyn and daddy!


Haley will do anything for some candy! She went in the decorated trunk bed and got some candy out of the coffin! Good thing for mommy, it was three musketeers!


So proud, she grabbed three of them!


Kiptyn waving hello!


Haley checking out this trunk with the smoke coming out of it!


Look at that bowl getting filled! Good thing someone forgot their bowl one night, cause I didn't bring anything for her to trick or treat with!

Not so haunted hayride

I signed Haley and I up for this hayride at Frying Pan Farm. It was a waste of my money! There was really nothing exciting about it. But we got to see some cows!


Kiptyn enjoying his ride!


Haley checking out the scenery!

More cuteness of Kiptyn.

Arria has all the good pics, I'm sure!

mainly music Halloween edition

We have had our 4th mainly music session and it was a Halloween edition! We had a great time. All the kids were dressed up in costumes. We had lots of ladybugs! I made some jello jigglers in the shape of skulls and pumpkins and they were a hit! I think Ellie and Haley ate most of them! We had a craft and it was fun! Haley and Kiptyn just wore their matching skeleton shirts, they looked so cute. I had to sell the third shirt at the consignment sale....it made me sad knowing that I had to only put on two shirts that day instead of three. I think Kylie was still wearing though!



This is what happened when I pulled out the camera...they were sitting together so nicely until then.


This is what happens with pictures together now.


So cute! He's clapping to the music!


Tired from all the dancing!

Haley and Ellie....again hard to get pictures together anymore!
