Macy's Christmas Tree

We ventured downtown today to meet up with the Wegerson's, our family friends. We went to Macy's to admire the big beautiful Christmas tree.

Julia's First Christmas!

What a whirlwind of a day. I opened a bunch of stuff, hung out with my great family, & was very tired at the end of the day.

Here I am with Queenie, Grampy, & Unck Jeff...they are admiring my new Laptop (see prior post).


Unck B & Unck J.

Look at the fancy book I got!

Getting some Grand-Aunt K time!

A got a HUGE basket full of books from My Grand-Aunts, Uncle Greg, & Cousin Scott. As you can see I am VERY excited about them.

Picture with my family under the tree.

After I went to bed everyone had fun playing Frosty Bingo. I wasn't upset though...I was SOOOO tired from all the fun we had. Mom said next year I can stay up & play...I can't wait.

See...even Rosie was tired at the end of the night. What a day.

Kimball Christmas

This past weekend we celebrated Christmas with Pappy & Grandma Kimball. I also got to see my Cousin & bestest girlfriend Kennedy. We had a lot of fun & got a bunch of goodies. Kennedy & I even both got brand new Laptops, which was good timing because mine had just crashed the day before.

Here we are with our cute KC Chief Teddy Bears from Aunt Megan & Uncle Nick.

Julia got a great book, however, she enjoyed chewing on the wrapping paper even more!

Julia's Aunt got her the darling onsie below (it says pretty girl on it)....thanks Auntie Jodi! As you can see from the before picture I was in a very bad mood. Mom gave me a puff & that perked me up. As they say: TGFP...thank God for puff's.

Rub-a-dub-dub

So...Julia enjoys her baths in the sit-up position now. This is a good thing for me because she figured out how to splash with her feet laying down & would get me all wet. I am sure she will figure out she can do the same thing with her hands, however, she hasn't yet!

I want one of THOSE!

Today at Julia's playgroup she got to hang in the
ballpit for a while! She had a ton of fun. I think once the basement is finished we might need to get one of those...I wonder if they make them for 28 year old's...hmmm.

Julia & Jolly Old Saint Nick!

We took Julia to see Santa downtown this past weekend.

Fashion Show!

Julia wanted to do a little impromptu fashion show this morning. She likes showing off new looks.


Don't I look adorable in my poodle dress from my Grand Aunt's (K & D). I love it & it fit's really good now. I am ready to jump & jive...if only I had a dance partner. Baby seeking Baby: Must be a little dude, 8 Months to 1 1/2...terrible 2's need not apply. Interests must include: naps, milk & chewing on toys.

The next 2 outfits were my mom's! She used to be pretty fashionable...who knew?

Julia's 1st Trip to KC!

This past week Julia had lots of fun on her 1st trip to Kansas City, MO. After an 8 hour car ride we stayed with Great Grandma Mary & Great Grandpa Charles. They have a great set up for visiters & had lots of baby gear ready & waiting! Julia was so happy because we she got to spend SOOO much time with her Cousin/buddy Kennedy over the holiday weekend.
We also all met Julia's beautiful Cousin Leah....Julia is VERY jealous of all Baby Leah's hair. On Saturday we drove to Cameron, MO to visit with the Kimball side- Great Grandma Joan & Great Grandpa Don & all of our Cousins there. We took tons of Pictures...as you can see!


Kennedy & me...together again. Sitting up like the big girls we are.


Meeting baby Leah for the 1st time. "Kennedy...do you think she likes us? Was it something I said??".

We had fun playing with toys...mostly putting them in our mouths though!

Here we are laying on the quilts Great Grandma Joan made for us!

Here we are with our Cousins Brylee, Zander, & Hannah...we had fun playing.

Picture with our G-G Joan & G-G Don.

Here we are in the cute holiday outfits GG Mary bought us...don't we look festive?

Our Mom's thought it would be cute to stuff our pants & make us look like umpa-baloompa's. Parent's can be SO weird sometimes.

All 3 of us stooges in our matching outfit's!

We don't want our pictures taken ANYMORE!

Don't we all look cute with GG Mary & GG Charles?? We love them so much! We can't wait until next year when we can really get into some trouble.

So Close!

I am really close to sitting up on my own. Mommy took these pictures quickly before I fell over!

Julia's Family

We gathered with our family this past weekend as we said good-bye to Great-Grandma. Having to say good-bye to someone we love makes us appreciate the family that is with us that much more.

I got to spend some quality time on Great-Grandpa's lap...sure was comfy!





















Here I am with my Unck's Brad & Jeff. How I love them so...! They always have something funny to say to me.

Here I am with my pal & California Cousin CJ (He sure is a California boy isn't he??). We had fun looking at each other & playing together. CJ sure is smart, when his Mommy asks "Where is Julia?" he points at me! I can't wait until I can do that.

Christopher stole some of my puff's at dinner time off of my tray. Everyone laughed....I didn't care.

I Love Puffs!

Julia is loving the world of "real" foods. We started giving her puffs (which she loves) & now we are working on her picking them up herself. I think Rosie ended up eating most of them due to them falling on the floor!

6 Month Photo Shoot

Here are some of the pictures we had taken today of Julia at 6 months. We ended up with so many good ones I can't decide which I like best! She weighed a little over 16 lbs at her check-up...they say double their birth weight for 6 months & triple it for a year. She is right on track. I think she will be sitting up soon...our goal is Thanksgiving.

Ballerina Babes

We got the Girl's to pose for a picture wearing their matching tutu's & the cute flowers Aunt Jodi makes. How are we going to top this one?
