"Throughout our lives, we must deal with change. Some changes are welcome; some are not. There are changes in our lives which are sudden, such as the unexpected passing of a loved one, an unforeseen illness, the loss of a possession we treasure. But most of the changes take place subtly and slowly. Day by day, minute by minute, second by second we went from where we were to where we are now. The lives of all of us, of course, go through similar alterations and changes. The difference between the changes in my life and the changes in yours is only in the details. Time never stands still; it must steadily march on, and with the marching come the changes. This is our one and only chance at mortal life—here and now. The longer we live, the greater is our realization that it is brief. Opportunities come, and then they are gone. I believe that among the greatest lessons we are to learn in this short sojourn upon the earth are lessons that help us distinguish between what is important and what is not. I plead with you not to let those most important things pass you by as you plan for that illusive and nonexistent future when you will have time to do all that you want to do. Instead, find joy in the journey—now. Let us relish life as we live it, find joy in the journey, and share our love with friends and family. One day each of us will run out of tomorrows. " Thomas S. Monson

Kiptins 8 Months...


I am amazed at how time seems to fast for me these days. I just posed that kiptin was 7 months and now another month has passed us right up.

Kiptin is such an amazing baby, he is happy and so smart. He has learned so much this past month...here is what he is doing now at 8 months...

*He loves Pears, anything pear he will eat or drink
*He loves playing with is brother and try's really hard to do everything he is doing
*He LOVES attention, all eyes on him or else!
*He started crawling EVERYWHERE he got the army crawl down about 6/7 months and the past month he has mastered the crawling stage of life.
*He sits on his knees and bounces, and laughs
*He is pulling himself up on to stuff and standing there, yes I would have to say
walking is in his really near future.
*He is for sure a binkie kid (unfortunately) he loves that thing.
*He has to have moms attention as soon as I walk through the door, if i dont stop and say hi and give him hugs and kisses he throws himself down on the floor and cry's until i get him or he crawls over to me and try's to pull himself up my leg!
*He is a mommy's boy for sure! (love him extra for that!!)
*He is very solid..I love his chubby legs and rolls he has, but they are fayding away fast now that he is on the move all the time.
*He still wakes up for one feeding sometime in the night (not good for mommy or daddy)
*He is in size 4 diapers now, kaylin only made it to size 4 so kiptin will for sure pass him up, (it does make it nice though that i only have to buy one size and they both can wear it, kaylin only wears then to bed, thank goodness!
*He is just awesome in every way!

I sure love him to death, he is such a blessing in our life's he makes us all happy!
I love you so much my little kipper snack! happy 8 months.

good advice!

Be very careful if you make a woman cry, because God counts her tears. The woman came out of a man's rib, not from his feet to be walked on, not from his head to be superior, but from his side to be equal! Under the arm to be protected, & next to the heart to be loved.
