Santa Baby

Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas. Our cards were a bit late this year :) Best wishes in the New Year as well! Julia is just growing like a weed and had all sorts of fun visiting with family over Christmas weekend - with a little crankiness from travel and lack of naps!

Julia had some great pictures taken for her 6 month "birthday" If you want to check them out go to www.taylanbrooks.com, proofing and enter "ringenberg" as the password.

It seems Julia does something different or discovers something new every day. She has started to stand while holding herself up. We also tried baby food for the first time. These pictures show her reactions - first bite of pears and 3 seconds after first bite of pears. Also note Megan holding Julia's bib 20 seconds after her first bite of pears. In Jules' defense, she was still feeling a little under the weather at that time.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving! Hope you all had a great holiday. Julia is doing more things every day - she is sitting really well by herself, eating her cereal like a champ, and is starting to reach for just about everything Mom and Dad have in their hands!

Julia saw her first snow this week, enjoyed lounging in her sweet new holiday jammies that fairy godmother Stacy got us, and made her first hat at daycare - the jury is still out as to exactly what it is, but it is cute nonetheless!

Julia - November update

Julia has had a busy November - We spent some time playing with Cousin Mallory (she showed Julia how to play in the exersaucer!) and our friend Leila Klem!

We also enjoyed wearing our new winter coat from G & G Brown and 'Cutie' outfit from Aunt Casey :)

Julia's First Halloween

Julia was a little "Love" bug for Halloween. We had fun trick o' treating at Grandpa R's work, G & G Browns and the Elkhorn Library!

First Trip to the Zoo

Julia went to the Henry Doorly Zoo for the first time on Sunday, Oct 28th. We went with G & G Ringenberg, Scot, Kendy & Mallory! We took lots of fall photos - here's some of the highlights! One wouldn't really be able to tell we were at the zoo based on the pics!

Julia Christine - So Busy!

Julia had a very busy week! It was dad's birthday on Wednesday so we went to dinner - good pic of dad and Jules :)

Her fairy godmother Stacy stopped by, along with godfather Sam. - Julia was in her very hip pumpkin hat - courtesy Grandma Lorraine. So cute!

We spent Saturday in Moville with Great Grandma Bernice and then. . .


on Monday we went to visit Julia's new very good friend - Katelyn Rose Koesters! She was born on Friday, October 19th - her mom's birthday :) Katelyn and Kara are doing well! She is a cutie!
