Christmastime with a Kitty!

Well our little kitty daughter is growing.  She's at about the age when most people adopt a kitten.  So I feel we are quite lucky that we've actually had her for a little over a month.  We've had her since she was considered a newborn.  I think she's doubled in size since that evening Brad brought her home in a box.  She was so tiny I told him right away that I wasn't sure she would make it.  But we did it...we got her the necessary stuff and nursed her along!

She's a very active little one!  She moves from one thing to the next.  Earlier today the toilet paper was hanging down quite a ways so she jumped up to get it.  She was successful, all the toilet paper was unrolled by her.  Thankfully not much was left on the roll.  She's also a napkin thief.  When we sit down to eat at the coffee table if we put a napkin on our lap she comes to snatch it. 

It's definitely fun watching her.  We were commenting last night how much fun it will be when we get a Christmas tree up.  I've never had a pet this young at Christmastime.  Since Cody was born in early December he would have been a newborn and not yet weaned for his actual "first" Christmas.  Cody was right at a year when his first Christmas with me came around and Simon was nearing the year old mark.  It was still quite interesting, rather comical to watch the boys during their first Christmas.  I'm thinking with Piper's age it will be an enjoyable experience yet different from the boy's first Christmas.  However, it's likely going to be harder to discipline her concerning some stuff because she's still learning the boundaries.

I freaked her out with a singing dog Christmas decoration yesterday.  When I saw it at the store I had to buy it just to see the reaction of the boys and Piper.  The boys were not impressed.  They're used to me attempting to freak them out.  Piper on the other hand went scampering across the room as soon as I turned on the singing mechanism.  Brad and I busted out laughing while the boys looked around to see where she went!  LOL!

Time to share some pics of our Piper!

 She loves the boys toys!  Especially Fozzy bear!

 I know you can't see her face but I like how you can see her stripes.
