Picture of the week
Santa’s 40 Week Old Helper
We are back with week 2 of our Christmas jammies update. Sarah was much more cooperative last week than the week before. Just wait until you see this weeks (yes, I’m a slacker with still being 1 week behind).
Each week just gets more fun and exciting. Our girl keeps getting cuter and I love watching her personality develop and grow. We are so thankful that she loves being around people as much as she does. One new thing we have been experiencing is a little of the ‘separation anxiety’ that I’ve heard can creep up around the 9-month mark. It’s only happened two or three times, but she usually gets over it pretty quick. Nothing a good nap can’t fix 
We also have to keep an extra close eye on our quick crawler because she LOVES to investigate and explore. She’s like a cat sneaking into the tiniest spaces and corners. Maybe she’ll want to be a detective like I did when I was younger.
Okay, enough chit chat. Here we go:
.
This made me laugh because she loves to be flown around and she nailed the SuperMan pose
.
The next few outfits are a little less pink and have more of the classic red & green Christmas colors. I guess the baby clothing companies want to make sure people know your child is a girl with all the pink they add to outfits… even when it comes to jammies. No that I mind, it just means she matches her seahorse a little better 
Hope you are all done with your Christmas decorating and shopping! We finished last week and actually ordered EVERY gift online. That’s right, we didn’t have to set foot in a single store for gift shopping. It was a fantastic decision. Checking the mail has never been so fun!
A 39 Week Old in Pajamas
For the month of December I thought it would be fun to do Sarah’s weekly photo of her in some of her Christmas themed pajamas. Fact: Babies are adorable. 2nd Fact: Babies in pajamas are even MORE adorable!
This was Sarah’s 39th weekly photo shoot.
“Look mom, this is my foot. Let me show you how I can stick it in my mouth!”
.
Only 1 real photo this week because almost all of her other pictures look like this…
girl does not like to stay still
I love that Sarah is in the ‘pajama set’ stage. Changing a diaper is 1000 times easier when all you have to do is take off bottoms rather than unzip/button an entire outfit just to get to the legs. Tip for future parents: Any outfit is easier if it doesn’t involve buttons!
Stay tuned for this weeks Pajama-Themed photo, coming soon’ish (that is, as soon as I upload the pictures, crop them, edit them, and add the text on top).
For now I have to go get ready for our church Christmas party. I’m supposed to be baking cookies right now but wanted to get at least 2 posts up before this week ended… The month of December is busier than I remember. Then again, all months feel busier this year than they have the past 27 years. Babies, they definitely keep ya busy!
Have a great weekend
Thirty-Eight
Oh sweet child, how you grow so fast. I can’t believe Sarah is 38 weeks old! Every week gets more fun and I am absolutely loving being a mommy to our little energizer bunny.

This photo was just too good to keep to myself:

Thirty-7 Weeks
I am so excited about last weeks photo update session. The onesie Sarah is wearing was given to Stephen from my sister-in-laws sister-in-law. Did you catch that?! Her daughter is in Stephen’s youth group at our church and they made this cute outfit for my Star Wars fan husband
.
I didn’t even know I captured this until I saw it on the computer
Haha, crazy child
Hope you all are having a fabulous week. Just 25 more Days until CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!
A Fun 36th Week
In case you hadn’t noticed I got a little behind with posting Sarah’s weekly photos during the laptop charger fiasco. When you upload your photos on a computer that then goes into a loooonng hibernation, it’s hard to keep up! Thankfully Stephen worked his charm-magic and got us a new charger at no cost. Thanks hun!!
The following pictures are some of my favorites. I got Sarah laughing and it’s easy to get a smile when your little one is giggling
an Albert Einstein crazy hair shot
.
This one reminds me of Billy Mays with his I’M SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS PRODUCT commercials
.
Is it just me or does that headband give off a Jazzercise vibe
I feel like she could be an aerobic instructor in this one, haha
.
There ya have it. Our little girls 36th week of of life and we have these fun photos to always remember how energetic she was! Let me tell you, she is like an energizer bunny. This kid doesn’t slow down for anything. I’m pretty sure when she learns to take a hands-free step she is going to just take off in a full sprint.
These really are some of my favorite pictures of all time. The onesie was a gift I got for Stephen last Christmas. He is our family, church, and friends computer tech, and I know he’s hoping Sarah will enjoy working on them as much as he does (as well as watching/playing video games with him). I’ve been waiting for her to fit into that outfit for a while, and I know Stephen will especially enjoy this post because he hasn’t seen these pictures yet
I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving. We are really going to enjoy our 4-day weekend with family, friends, and lots of yummy food!
35 Weeks
It’s not too surprising to me that for Sarah’s 35 week photo she is wearing a summer outfit. Does November count as Fall in Florida? Gotta love living in the south… Well, unless you want a white Christmas, or enjoy sledding, skiing, snowball fights, and snowmen. It’s easy to like those things when you don’t have to shovel snow, or scrap your car windows every morning
Moving off the beautiful winter snow topic… here’s our girl
.
Hi Ho, Hi Ho,Off to Play I go
.
I can already see Sarah getting away with everything with this look
(with her dad of course)
.
Hopefully the weather will cool down just a bit for the coming holidays. Although, not having to put socks, pants, hat, and a jacket on Sarah does make life easy when you’re in a rush (which happens more often than I’d like to admit).
Our Little 34 Week Bumble Bee
“I’m in love, I’m in love, and I don’t care who knows it!”
Oh ‘ELF’ how you make me laugh. It’s that season friends. The Christmas movies can be watched, and the box of decorations can be pulled out of storage so we can do our 1st Ringl, family of 3, Christmas right!
Here’s our little one dressed in the cutest little bee outfit that her friend Rory sent our way
I know you can’t see it, but I was teasing Sarah with her pacifier in these pictures. I would dive down to her face and let her almost get it and then zoom it back up and laugh. She was having a hay day with it.
.
I guess she decided to settle for her finger instead
It should be real interesting to see how Sarah acts when we get the Christmas tree up. Let’s hope she doesn’t try to eat it, like she does everything else she can get her hands on!
A Bony 32 Week Old
I have so enjoyed these Halloween inspired weekly photo sessions. It has been a blast finding Sarah these cute costumes to wear. Parenthood has some fun perks, and celebrating the Halloween season ALL month long has been one of them! We have one more costume post after this one, so I really hope you enjoy these last two.
Goodness gracious alive our little girl is a cutie pie. Watch, I’ll prove it…
.
Cutest skeleton I’ve ever seen

Eating her favorite snack, her fingers

All curled up
The costume actually glows in the dark, but I couldn’t get a usable picture.
I’ll be back tomorrow, on Halloween, with a fun Family Costume post for you! You don’t wanna miss it!
A 31 Week Old Pumpkin
Who loves pumpkin? I do! Pumpkin pie, yes! Pumpkin scented candles, heck yes! Pumpkin cake donut, oh gosh I want one now! Pumpkin Latte/coffee creamer, mmm, soo soo good! What about a pumpkin-outfitted baby?! Oh yes, I think that is my favorite!
See what I mean…
A methodical pumpkin
With Halloween’y Lettering
It is so hard to capture her smiling sometimes….
Just to reassure you she had fun
.
This may be being posted on the day of Sarah’s 32nd week of life, but I thought you would still enjoy seeing her all decked out and cute. She is such a hoot. Halloween is going to be so much fun! Only 2 more weeks of costume-filled photo updates.
A 30 Week Old Amphibian
Another week has FLOWN by and Sarah is already 7 days older. We are another week into October and that means we had another fun Halloween inspired photo shoot!
Any guesses what you think she is this week?! Hehe… this one is Mario Brothers inspired
Our hoppity little 30 week old
.
Here she is on the move!
.
I couldn’t resist sharing this one. LOVE her!!!!
those big blue eyes have my heart
.
While the costume is a frog suit it makes me think more of Yoshi because of it’s green coat and big eyes. Makes me wanna play Mario Kart…
I can definitely tell you that this costume was not made for the outdoors in the south. It is insulated like nobodies business! Perfect for cool weathered states during Halloween though!
Until next week, happy hopping!
