No Coal in Kueffer's Stocking!

Kueffer's first Christmas was a fabulous one! Kueffer must have made the 'nice' list as Santa was very good to him. He did get a bit 'overstimulated' from all of the gifts and camera flashes, but a bit of 'chewy' tissue paper seemed to help!

We spent Christmas Day in KC at Aunt Michelle and Uncle Tom's and had a wonderful time with all of the family. The day after Christmas, we went to Mommy's hometown to see Grandma Mary Ann and Grandpa Bob. We attended a party with our family friends, visited Great Grandma Opal and celebrated with Kueffer's cousins, aunts and uncles. What a wonderful Christmas and we are so blessed that we were all together again this year!

Here are a few of the photos from our fun celebrations!

Christmas morning!

What's that?

This cardboard is delicious!

Merry Christmas!

"....a little round belly, that shakes when he laughs, like a bowl full of jelly!"

Kueffer met Santa last month and, as you can see from the photo, they really hit it off! I am not sure what Kueffer may have 'discussed' with Santa, but I think he was telling him to put Mommy on the nice list and that Daddy was still undecided.
Merry Christmas Eve to everyone!

Do I look sick to you?

Today, Mommy made her first 'nervous mommy' visit to the pediatrician. Kueffer had a rash on his back and, although it did not seem to bother him, we needed to check it out. All is fine and he is as sweet and funny as always!
After the Dr. visit, we visited some of Mommy's former co workers and delivered some gifts. Kueffer loved meeting his new friends!

Santa's newest recruit!

*Oh, check out the chompers...Kueffer got his 2nd tooth this week!

Hmmm, these look interesting...

Kueffer is still discovering all of the brightly colored packages under our tree. Even though there are many to chose from, he seems to be quite taken with one of Brock's. Also, he noticed a bag of Topsy's popcorn and, once Mommy turned her back, was into it. With his new built in tool, I mean tooth, he was able to make a hole in the bag. Mommy heard some spitting sound and looked over- Kueffer had cinnamon popcorn! Obviously, not a fan though...or so Mommy thought. Once it was back on his level, he went right for it!
Mommy and Daddy can't take their eyes off of him now!

Good Morning!

How can any day be a bad day when it starts like this?
Happy Wednesday!

Daddy's Snow Day

Today on Daddy's way to work, he received a call letting him know that no one else was coming into the office due to the horrible weather. Daddy got his laptop and worked from home. Kueffer and Mommy were so happy! As you can see from the video, Kueffer had a great day!

Enjoy and stay warm!

Snooping!

Guess who has discovered the tree?! Kueffer and Mommy spent part of the morning enjoying a warm fire by the Christmas tree. As soon as Mommy put Kueffer down to crawl, he went right for the presents! Sorry, cousin Brock- one of your gifts may be a bit mushy as Kueffer thought it was the perfect teething toy!

Meowy Christmas!

I know that our blog is usually dedicated to the cutest member of our family...Kueffer, but today I wanted to share a photo of the runner up. (Sorry, Matt) This is our cat, Lucy. She is such a sweet cat and lately Mommy has been teaching Kueffer to 'gently' pet her.

The tooth!

Kueffer is very proud of his first tooth and smiles and shows it to everyone! Uncle Clark got a great photo of him smiling and showing off! Each day it shows a little more. Kueffer is chewing on everything, including Mommy's fingers if they get close. Ouch!

Kueffer's first slumber party!

This past weekend Kueffer had his first sleepover! He spent Saturday night with his Aunt Bobbi and Uncle Clark and if he was spoiled before, well...
Aunt Bobbi was the first to give the 'noisy toys' which she generously gave us to take home. :) He loves them!
Kueffer had the best time and I think that they did too. (even if sleep deprived!)

Thanks Aunt Bobbi and Uncle Clark...oh, and Anna too!

And for my next trick...

It was a very eventful day for Kueffer. This morning, his first tooth came in! Later at playgroup, he CRAWLED!!! Can you believe it? He is not even 5 months old yet! Mommy had to ask another mommy at playgroup if it was actually happening because she could not believe her eyes. Aunt Lisa predicted that it would happen by Thanksgiving. We all thought, no way!...well, she was only off by a week. He crawled a little more for Daddy when he came home from work too.
He is on the go now and our lives will not be the same! :)

...and our hearts grew 3 sizes that day...

Kueffer is absolutely the happiest, little grinch ever!
(Thanks, Aunt Lisa for contributing again to the holiday wardrobe...we love it!)


Kueffer and Mommy watched 'Santa Claus is Coming to Town' tonight. One on Mommy's favorite holiday classics! We loved singing along- Kueffer was smiling so big, so I know that he enjoyed Mommy's singing! I am sure that Kueffer will enjoy all of the wonderful holiday tv shows as much as his mommy does...can't miss Peanuts, Rudolph, Frosty, ...Maybe Daddy will learn to like them too!
