Mizzou- RAH!

Kueffer is really excited about the Tigers making it into the Elite 8! Sorry about the Jayhawks, Daddy.

Rain, rain go away!

Spring has been teasing us and we wish it would stay! Kueffer and Mommy love our walks and going to the park. The photo above is just last week when it was almost 80 degrees! Ugh, rain and, this weekend- SNOW, please go away. We are ready for spring!

Check out these chompers!

Kueffer has been teething for the last few weeks and they are finally in...FOUR new teeth on top!

Captions Needed!

We really aren't sure why, but Kueffer LOVES to lick windows. All the time. In Florida, one morning I was playing with him when he suddenly crawled around the couch, went to the beautiful etched glass patio doors in Michelle and Tom's condo, and proceeded to slam his face into them and let his tongue guide him all the way to the floor.

It wasn't quite as cute when he came up to me a few days later and did the same thing on the bottom of my shoe (gross!)

We have since learned to deftly avoid his quick action tongue, but every once in a while he wears us down as he did this evening. I just had to take a picture of it.

Any suggestions for good captions? Michelle's off the cuff suggestion was, "Mmmm...Windex-y."

Just for Daddy...

Let the MADNESS begin!

Happy St. Patty's Day!

What a weekend!

Kueffer had a wonderful and fun filled weekend! Grandpa Bob and Grandma Mary Ann arrived on Friday afternoon and the fun started. He was so happy to see them as were Daddy and Mommy. Saturday, Grandma and Mommy went shopping with Kueffer and then the Aunts, Uncles and cousins arrived. After watching the Tigers win the Big 12 (yippee!), we all went out to dinner. Kueffer was so exhausted from all of the fun, he slept so soundly each night. (double yippee!!)

Sunday was his BIG day...Baptism Sunday. We were so happy to have the family with us during the service. Kueffer looked so precious in the baptism gown and did beautifully during the entire baptism. After the service all of the family gathered at our home for lunch- Kueffer was so tired that he fell asleep on the way home from church and slept for 2+ hours! Of course, he missed most of the after celebration.

It was a wonderful weekend and beautiful celebration. We are all very blessed!

Baptism- Take 2

This Sunday Kueffer will be baptized. All of the family is healthy and will be there for his big day! His baptism gown is the same gown that his Great Grandfather and his Daddy wore and is over 90 years old!

Cheerios!

Kueffer has recently discovered Cheerios and loves them! - or at least loves to play with them! Here are some photos of him enjoying his favorite snack!

Please forgive some of the blurry photos- these were some very quick action shots Mommy was trying to get! :)

Last night, Kueffer got a wonderful surprise and AUNT BOBBI came to visit for the night! As you can see, he was so excited.

Yeah, Kueffer!!!

Kueffer is learning to clap which should be fairly easy for him to catch on to as Mommy and Daddy seem to clap and say 'Yeah, Kueffer!' following practically everything he does! Above is a very brief video of his 'clapping'!

What a day!

Yesterday was one of those packed days for Kueffer. We started the day going to the library for 'jump, jog and jingle' and he had a great time. The classic 'Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes' still holds up! Mommy was hoping that Kueffer would wear himself out enough for a nice nap. Kueffer had other ideas. So after a not so relaxing 1/2 hour snooze, Mommy and Kueffer went to the park. He is really loving the swing and just lounged back and enjoyed the ride! He was tired but still did not give in so we followed the park with a very long walk. After 2 hours of walking and charming many ladies in the Village shops, we were home.

Although Kueffer was tired, he never gave in. A nap would have been very nice, but it was a beautiful day and Mommy loved spending it with him!

Splish, Splash Kueffer's takin' a bath...

After a bit of a 'dry spell', Kueffer is back to loving his bath! He used to love getting a bath every night as part of our nightly routine. THEN, once the weather became cooler outside, Kueffer got this nasty rash on his back. The pediatrician said Mommy had a very rare condition of having a 'too clean' baby- so we reduced the baths to twice a week- at least until the weather gets warmer. Mommy loves her nightly bubble baths, so she knew that if Kueffer was anything like her, he would miss his! Once we came to terms and started our new nightly routine, Kueffer had discovered that he did not like these baths so much...okay, at all! We tried a new tub- one that was shaped like a duck and the bill honked...really!, new soap and lotion, new toys...nothing worked! Then, Mommy decided to try it without the props and just bathe 'old school'...just a few bubbles and his stacking cups. Guess what? He loves his bath again! Kueffer could stay in that tub for such a long time and loves to splash away! Whew...Mommy and Daddy were really starting to worry that our little guy was going to grow into PigPen. What a relief!
