Winter Fun!

Trying to make the best of cold outdoor weather. Here is Julia and Dad building a fort! The finished product was quite impressive, but apparently I forgot to get a shot of it.

Julia is talking much more these days. She is regularly putting two words together and is starting to say the beginnings of 123 and ABC! We laughed the other day when the first 3 word phrase we heard out of her mouth were "Bailey Get Down!"

She has also started a hilarious "stance" dad taught her. She gets in the football stance with two pointer fingers on the ground, says Ready, we say Set, and she says Go! And off she runs. It is pretty cute. I am guessing that will make the blog one of these days as well.

Julia with her godmother Stacy and little Will - what a cutie!













Blowing Bubbles in the Tub!



























Pigtails!













Julia loves her sled. See the video for "ready, set, go." She cried for 20 minutes after we came in, begging to get taken back out for more "sed, more sed"

Christmas, Part Two

Happy 2009! The week after Christmas we had festivities with the Ringenberg's. It was a lot of fun - Julia and Mallory enjoyed their "baking" supplies for their kitchen and Julia also got a stylin sled and a vacuum from Great Grandma R! Here she is practicing her overly entergetic "cheese" smile.









Julia and Daddy playing doctor! She is really good about making "thump, thump" sounds and generally seems to know just where to find them.












Julia and Grandpa dancing to "Julia and a Drum" from the Julia soundtrack from Scot and Kendy.














Awww . . . .














Again . . . aw . . . .
















Making the first of many messes with their new mixing bowls and measuring cups for their kitchens.












Julia and Mom got matching cupcake aprons from Aunt Kendy - too too cute!
















Grandma L the chef has years of baking experience to teach the wee ones :)












Oh and when we don't play with kitchens - its all about babies!













My sled is pretty cool inside - can't wait to get some snow to try it out!
















Ah the Kirby Kegger. . 4th Annual . . fun times













Julia, Kyle and I headed down to the Children's Museum while Kyle had some time off over Christmas - we will definitely be back - what a fun place!
