Kiptyn diaries

Hello all,




This past week, I, Kiptyn reached my 5 month milestone. I thought it had been a few months since my last entry and I'm sure you all are wondering what I've been up to lately. I am getting to be such a big boy.



Here's a list of my recent fun activities:


-I weigh 14 lbs. & I eat every 4 hours.

-I'm still a great sleeper. I love my naps during the day and still sleep great through the night for my awesome parents.



-I love reading books with Jackson, Mommy, and Daddy before bed.




-I love my Sofie giraffe I got for Christmas, it's my favorite. I get excited when Momma asks me if I want my "sof"!



-I love love love to chat with people. Especially giggling, smiling, and making noises at them.





-I roll over, which at first was a little shocking when I realized what I did. Don't let the smile on my face fool ya, it's just for show for the camera. I am not a fan of this whole tummy time thing!






-I sit with support and love my new highchair from Mal and Pal.


-I can put my "pass" (pacifier) in my mouth by myself and I know what it is when people say "pass".


-I am still loving my older brother, let's face it, the guy is my hero.








-I am very well aware of my feet and love playing with them.




-I give (open mouth/slobber) kisses when asked for kisses.


-I love playing with Daddy's hair, strange I know, but it's just so soft.





Basically, I am just such a happy baby and I'm loving life. It's so much fun being a family of 4!







Til next time, much love and kisses. Stay tuned for my next entry.


Yours truly,

Kiptyn Kane

Attempt #1

A few weeks ago we had our first attempt with rice cereal. Kiptyn LOVED it. He ate it like a champ and Jackson loved helping feed him.




Only problem is the next day he broke out a little and with his eczema we decided to wait a few weeks a try again. We're finally at that few week mark and not sure whether to try the same thing or not. Ideas moms??

December Recap

This December was SUPER fun!


We went skating for Keira's 5th bday!




Jackson was a pro! He got to the point where he didn't want us to hold his hand, nor even skate near him. He kept waving his hand yelling at us to go! Mr. Independent!





We had a slumber party on Dec 23rd at Ma & Daddy's house.







Woke up on Christmas Eve and enjoyed family time!






It was a very Merry Batman Christmas at our home this year!





Did you all know that Batman loves loves loves cruising with Barbie in her new pink bug? :)










Went to Chuck-e-cheese's to celebrate Crystal's 29th birthday for lunch.







Went to Mal and Pal's house for Christmas Eve dinner. Pal dressed up as Santa and Jackson and the kids were SO excited! Kuddos Pal, you did an awesome job!!!!











We took time the moment we woke up to remember the true reason for the season.








Jackson was so sweet being patient waiting on his little brother to open his gifts!




We love some Tim Tebow at our home! :)




Batman may have made an appearance.






Made memory boxes for all 3 boys thanks to Em finding one awesome coupon code online!












CHEESE!







Jackson DID NOT want to join us for a family photo.





Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas celebrating the birth of our Saviour!

Only at the Jones' home

One of Jackson's favorite Christmas presents were his bathtub crayons, he loves them!




Well this past week finished up our fantasy season and Josh and Ryan were up for the championship (and $100). For the record, I came in 3rd in the regular season! Only girl in a league with 10 men, not too shabby! Anyway, Josh graciously lost in the final game and Ryan was the champ.





This is how Ryan celebrated...by gloating on our shower with Jackson's bathtub crayons. Classy Ryan, classy!




*sigh* Only at our home...

Flashback Friday




This old or what?! Look at that date, 12/24/03! This was about a month or so after we started dating. We go to Chuck-e-cheese's every Christmas Eve for my sister's birthday and we take this picture every year. We look so young!

Too much to say Tuesday...

As I come home to grab lunch last week this is what I find....

Apparently the boys can multi task...they can play Batman & Robin (plus Cat woman) AND can play PlayStation 3 at the same time.
