Chloe lookin' cute...
Cade using his swimmin' skills...Wow, what an incredible month it has been here at the Kaufmann house.
So much has happened in our family, I don't even know where to begin.
I guess with Chloe's 10 month birthday....
She is such an independent little lady. I am very thankful for that, most of the time. Sometimes I just want to hold her and she won't let me. Or she wants to get down and crawl around a nasty auto parts store and screams when I won't let her! She is a pretty good sleeper. She goes to bed at 7, wakes up for a feeding about 2AM and then sleeps until 7 or 7:30. She takes two 1 1/2 hour naps in the morning and afternoon. So I am NOT complaining. I really enjoy the few minutes of quiet time I get to have with her at 2 in the morning.
She loves to play with her brother and already thinks he is the funniest person on earth. It is too cute. She has started babbling A LOT in the past couple of weeks. I am pretty sure her first word is na-na (banana). Considering Cade's first word was cheese, it wouldn't surprise me if hers was a food, too.
Speaking of food, I would have to say that her favorite thing to do is EAT. I am so thankful for a good eater. She gave up baby food awhile back, but was able to chew everything pretty easily. Her favorite foods right now are strawberries,grapes,blueberries,bananas,broccoli,zucchini, cheese,chicken,turkey,sweet potato cubes, goldfish, and chicken enchiladas. I could name more. The girl would eat anything your put in front of her. And the occasional popsicle or Oreo when Cade is having one.
One of my best friends from high school, Kady, got married last weekend. It was a ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS wedding. I can't wait until I have some pictures to post. She was a stunning bride and I was so happy to get to stand next to her as she married the man she loves, who is a great, great guy.
We potty trained Cade this month. He has been so awesome. I have to confess, I only read about 2 articles on it and just prayed that he would get a hang of it quickly. Praise the Lord he did. I stayed home for about a week. The first 2 days I just let him run around naked and he realized pretty quickly that he needed to sit on the potty. Then, we went and bought some spiderman and thomas the train underwear. He had a couple of accidents for a few days and then he was good. Of course he still has them occasionally, but I think that will happen for awhile. He caught on very quickly and I couldn't be more thankful. I didn't make a huge deal about it, so I don't think he stressed about it either. It was a small miracle.
We also got a dog a couple of months ago and I just haven't posted about him. His name is Hank Aaron. He is a chocolate lab and he is really sweet and he is going to be really huge. HIs paws are MASSIVE.
We also bought a house! HOORAY! We decided to move to Friendswood. A lot of factors went into the decision. We prayed that the Lord would open and close doors for us and He was faithful to do so. We close on the house next Thursday, the 12th and will move in the same day.
We are leaving tomorrow for a family reunion(Cody's family) in Austin at this beautiful resort. Check it out. www.hollowsvacations.com
It is going to be like an actual vacation. I am totally excited. We won't be back until Sunday, so it will be a nice calm before the storm of moving. Then, hopefully, we will get to stop in Columbus and have a little birthday time with Grace since we are going to miss her party on the 14th because....
My step brother Brandon is getting married Saturday, the 14th.
So, needless to say, life is crazy right now. But crazy GOOD.
God is so faithful. We are so excited to move into our first home.
"Now all glory to God, who is able, through His mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to Him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever, AMEN!!

Congrats on your new home and all the wonderful things going on in your life. We found a little puppy in our neighborhood a few months ago and she's part black lab and she's already getting so big! Her paws are massive, too. =)
