Getting Ready for Christmas

Merry Christmas! I know today is Christmas, but I have been behind on my blogging and didn't get a chance to post our pre-Christmas pictures!  Things get a little more hectic with a newborn and a toddler. We are doing great though and I just love having a newborn again and spending all day with Hannah.  Seth is doing great and getting into somewhat of a eat, wake, sleep routine. He is having about a 5 hour stretch at night so that has been nice for us in regards to sleep.  One other big thing...this little guy rolled over on day 13!! He has actually rolled over 4 times so far!   He is a strong little guy. 

Ok... here is what we have been up to the past couple of weeks.

One of Hannah's new words is candy cane. It sounds so adorable when she says it!

Our First Week as a Family of 4!!!

I could not be happier to now be a mom of 2 sweet little ones.  Nate and I  feel truly blessed.  We have fallen in love with Seth, our precious new baby and my heart is constantly being melted by Hannah's sweetness with her brother and how she loves to be "mommy" to her babydolls.  Seth has been such a good baby...he cries when he is hungry and when his diaper is being changed and that's about all.  It is so cute because almost always, as soon as you button his little clothes back up after a diaper change, he stops crying and just lays there alert and happy. He is such a handsome little guy...his little skinny legs and cute little face make me smile.  Hannah has been making us smile a lot lately too with all the talking she is doing.  Not just her hilarious babbling, but real words and sentences.  Her latest sayings..."Baby cries", "No way", "Where _______ go? "...and some new words like "juice", "cereal", "socks", "hello", "Christmas tree", "holy, holy, holy",  and "Seth" (sounds like "peth" )!!!

And now a lot of pictures...
