Sorry the blog posts have been a bit scarce the past few days, but Kueffer and Mommy took a trip. We went to visit our friends in San Diego for a few days. Back soon with some pics from the trip!

Happy Boy!

Lately, Kueffer will just say 'I'm so HAPPY!' and I love it. Sometimes it's just out of the blue and his voice just sounds so full of joy.
Last night, Kueffer grabbed Mommy's hand and Daddy's hand and held them. He said 'We're a family and we're all friends'.
What a sweet little boy...could not love him more!

Kueffer meets Clifford!

Last weekend, Kueffer, Daddy and Mommy went to meet one of Kueffer's favorite characters...CLIFFORD, big red dog (that's how Kueffer addresses him)! It was sooo hot outside, so most of KC must have been at the exhibit. Or it just felt like it. Kueffer had such a great time getting to meet his 'friends'. He had to say 'hello' to Emily Elizabeth and have her smell his flower almost as soon as we arrived. He even learned a trade...'want fries with that?'...he was actually a pretty good server! He 'built a sandcastle', read books, 'drove' a boat (okay, had to struggle for the wheel), ...so much fun!
It was a great day and we saw LOTS of interesting people. Yeah, Clifford!

Trying out the Big Boy Bed

This is how Kueffer makes himself feel right at home...anywhere. Mommy and Kueffer were at Pottery Barn Kids this week for storytime, so Kueffer decided to just make himself comfortable. Looks like he is ready for his 'big boy' bed.

Kisses make it all feel better!

Last night Kueffer and Daddy started out on a nice walk to see some puppies. A few minutes later they were back...
Kueffer was running and wiped out! Poor little guy was so upset, but nothing a little ice, hugs and m&m's won't make feel better.
Soon he was acting like nothing happened...what a tough, sweet little guy!

Look who's driving!

More like 'LOOK OUT'! Yes, Kueffer is driving...yikes! He is really loving driving his golf cart. Unfortunately, it looks like he may have inherited his mommy's driving ability.
*sorry that the video is so short. Mommy was chasing him and had to take the wheel a few times to avoid crashes!

New Normal?

(Please excuse the 'cheesy' smile. I thought his smile was cute though.)

Last week was a rough one for this momma! Kueffer did not nap...ugh! It started out on Sunday with no nap in sight. Daddy and Mommy tried a couple of times and then decided to wear this kiddo out- and went swimming. We beat the heat, but did not win the nap battle this day. Monday, more of the same... stubborn little boy, miserably hot outside, and no nap. Tuesday, same story...aren't you getting tired just from reading this? Wed? Hurray, Kueffer actually napped! Maybe the cycle was broken. Thursday, Mommy had a sitter come over for a couple of hours in the afternoon while she ran some errands. The sitter played with Kueffer, read books, etc...then tried to put him down for a nap. When she put him in his crib, he looked up at her and said 'Please don't do this to me.' Can you believe that? Of course, she picked him up and read more books. What a little devil! :) Friday, after a 3 HOUR SWIM in this exhausting heat, only Mommy was ready for a nap....PLEASE do not tell me this is the new normal!!!!

Future Chief?

Mommy and Kueffer have been inside a lot lately...this heat makes being outside for any length of time MISERABLE! While inside, we have been brushing up Kueffer's football passing skills. ...although after you watch the video, you may be wondering if Mommy has been practicing his Quarterback moves or cheerleading! :)

Have a wonderful weekend! xo

Kueffer loves books and thinks that he can read the books. It is so funny listening to him 'read' the stories and what he thinks is happening in each book. Also, he is really good at sound effects! ;)

**FYI- this is a 'sticker book'! and obviously the story has cows that 'moo' and wheels. Interesting!

Our boy likes to potty all the time, potty all the time, ...

Well, not really...BUT he is really getting the hang of it.
Kueffer is VERY interested and likes to sit on the potty and we have had some major successes.
Daddy and Mommy think 'potty boot camp' is coming up...yikes!
