3 weeks

Kiptyn is 3 weeks old today (4/17/14). It is hard to believe he will be a month old next week...crazy! 

Great Grandmommy's Chair

Kelly's Grandmommy's (paternal grandmother) had a special white wicker chair. It was a staple in her sun room and each of us fought over who could sit in it, regardless of our age. It has been well loved and now Kiptyn can share in the tradition. 

Best Friends

Konrad is the best big brother. He Is very patient and is always watching over Kiptyn.  Konrad and Kiptyn will be buddies and will have many adventures planned in no time :)

 

Kiptyn 2 weeks (4/10/14)

Kiptyn is now 2 weeks old and back at his birth weight. We have a little piglet on our hands!  

1 week old

Kiptyn is 1 week old...where has this week gone? He is a little piglet and is sleeping for 2-3 hour stretches.  Mama is very lucky to have a good sleeper, hopefully this will stick around!  He loved being snuggled with lots of blankets and hates being wet. Kiptyn continues to look different daily, but still is a "blondie".  

 Big Brother had to supervise the photo shoot :)
