Fun at the Park

Today Kueffer and Mommy enjoyed a beautiful February afternoon at the park! Kueffer really is getting the 'hang' of the swing and even got some help from some of the little girls in the park. Yes, already charming the girls as they pushed him!

He also played on the slide and the teeter totter dinosaur. Kueffer had a great time and was exhausted when we left!

Love spring days in February!

I'M BACK!

Whew! It has been a long couple of weeks around the Dawdy household. Kueffer has been to the pediatrician's office at least 4 times in the past 2 weeks. (New mommies can't be too careful, can they?!) He has had a cold, ear infections, etc...and what a trooper! Today, he really started acting more like his funny, little self. :) Kueffer and Mommy went to the library for Rhythm and Rhyme and had a great time. Mommy was hoping that Kueffer would take a nap this afternoon, but he had other plans. Kueffer wanted to make up for some lost 'play time' now that he is feeling better. Here are a few photos of him playing and then taking a break on his bear rug...enjoy!

Juicy Kisses!

Kueffer is just starting to 'kiss' and since he is teething, his are some very drooly smooches! It seems that he is getting more cuddly, but perhaps this is because he is not feeling well lately. Whatever the reason, Mommy and Daddy are really enjoying their sweet little baby.

Last Sunday Kueffer received a wonderful Valentine gift...Aunt Bobbi came for a visit! He loves his Aunt Bobbi and as you can see below, gave her many juicy kisses!

Note the drop of drool forming! :)

Giggle Session

Here is a video of one of Kueffer's many giggle sessions that occur most days! We are so lucky that he is such a happy little guy. As it turns out, Kueffer was probably suffering from an ear infection when this was taped. Does he look or sound like he is in pain? Mommy and Daddy could not believe it when the Pediatrician told us.

Obviously he is teething. (He is chewing on the fence to the farm set that Grandpa Bob and Grandma Mary Ann gave him for Valentine's Day!) Those 2 top front teeth are coming in!

Happy Valentine's Day

I love my Valentines!

Kueffer is such a sweet little guy. He is just starting to 'kiss'. The photo above is of him going in for a big, 'juicy' kiss! :)

Happy Valentine's Day!

Kueffer's New Wheels!

On Sunday, Kueffer went to his first Valentine Party hosted by our mom's group. He wasn't feeling 100%, but still did his best to charm everyone! :) Many of his playgroup friends were there too! Here are some photos of Kueffer cruisin' the playroom. He did not actually do much cruising- more like 'pushed' around the room. Kueffer then took an alternative to driving and slid thru the bottom of the car- yikes! Thanks to Peter and Lindy aka 'Jaws of Life' for rescuing him! :)

Here's a photo of Kueffer's buddy Brodie- he was a much more skilled driver!

Hangin' with my Friends

Last Friday was a gorgeous spring, I mean winter day so Kueffer's playgroup met at the park. Kueffer tried out the swing for the first time. As you can see, he was mostly just hanging over the front of the swing, but he loved it! It was so much fun playing at the park with all of his little friends. We can't wait until the weather is warm every day so that Kueffer can play outside with his buddies!

Fun in the Sun!

Kueffer made his first trip to the beach! On our way to the beach, we saw this mama croc and her babies. Good thing that she did not see Kueffer as he may have appeared to be a tasty little morsel for her croc family! Yikes!

Once we reached the beach, Kueffer was fascinated with the sand. At first he was mostly curious, but then got his hands in it and really started exploring! He loved watching the waves. Mommy and Daddy took him out in the water a bit just to touch his toes and he was not thrilled with that as the water was fairly cold. (Ha, It was very cold!!!)

It was a great trip and we can't wait to get back to the beach with Kueffer!

Ahoy!

After a very fun day of shopping with Mommy and Grandma Karen on Friday, Kueffer tested out his sea (or gulf) legs and we set sail on Saturday! He loved the wind in his face and the waves. We were able to see dolphins swimming beside the boat too! After a bit Kueffer was getting a little tired, so we all took turns trying to get him to nap. Kueffer did not want to miss any of the excitement, but finally went to sleep about 20 minutes before we docked- of course!

It was a beautiful day and Kueffer proved to be a wonderful little sailor!

Planes, Trains, Automobiles, and .... boats!

Planes...

Kueffer has been on quite a journey the last few days. He went on his first trip and experienced so many new adventures! Last Thursday, the Dawdy's were off to Florida...yes, a bit later than expected as the airline informed us that the flight was cancelled about 30 min before we were leaving the house! Mommy got them booked on another flight that afternoon and off we went!

Kueffer was a wonderful traveller. It is funny to watch other passengers on the flight with their look of dread once they see a baby boarding. Much to their delight, Kueffer behaved excellently! One fellow flier even commented that she did not even know he was there...and she was sitting in the row in front of Kueffer! :)

Slackers

So sorry for the lack of posts this past week. We were on vacation, but are back with so many photos to share. We promise they are worth the wait...stay tuned!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Ok, seriously, how funny is this?
