Pictures of the Kids

giving hugs to Seth

 Hannah and Seth...can't get enough of our two sweeties!  

Hannah is going to be 2 next month and Seth is almost 4 months old...I can't believe it!

I asked Hannah to give Seth his paci when he was a little fussy.  I looked over a minute later and she had brought him all these blankets plus a bunch of toys (she kept bringing them to him after I took this picture!)  She is such a sweet helpful sister.

 

Hannah is really into coloring books and crayons

hugs for Maya this time :)

Happy Seth after his nighttime bottle!

Mommy and Seth...he is getting so big!

Walking at the park!  Hannah loves to say "I run" and "I walk".  She also is really into throwing sticks in the water and off the bridge at the park.  Last fall she loved to pick up acorns at the park...now it is sticks, ha!

Maya's new sleeping spot!  I think she is trying to hide from Hannah but the problem is she likes to hide under there too!

3.5 months old

 I LOVE these pics of Seth! Seriously...how can he be any cuter! 

Hannah is starting to help me in the kitchen!  This day we were making muffins, which she calls "pops" for some reason?! She is hilarious!

Memories

 

 Here are some new pictures and fun things the kids are up to...

Above and below- bath time!  Below is Hannah and Seth's first bath together.  

Hannah enjoyed putting bubbles on Seth :)

Hannah LOVES reading books aloud to herself. 

Me with my 2 babies!  I love having them both in my arms at the same time!

Hannah is really good at sorting out our silverware from the dishwasher.  It is her first chore, and she thinks it is fun!

Happy little guy during the day...not quite as happy at night. He was doing a great job sleeping but we have gotten into a bad slump of waking up a lot!  He is just too adorable though.  I can't get enough of his smile.  He started a little giggle this week that melts my heart. 

They don't look very happy in this picture, but they really do love each other.  Seth watches Hannah when she is nearby and gives her a lot of smiles.  I love when I hear Hannah saying "goo-goo" to Seth. She really is such a great big sister. 

We have entered the world of play-dough!

 The other day I was watching Biggest Loser and he was straining his neck to watch the TV!  He loves lights so I am guessing he likes all the flashing.

Seth eyes have turned very blue and his eyelashes are getting so long...so handsome.  He is our little "praying boy".  He usually has his hands together like this when he is sitting up. 

I  like to use this blog for a memory book and plan on printing it out.  So, a few more things I don't want to forget about our Cuties.   

Hannah-  

1.She doesn't understand that pictures in books cannot come off the pages!  She scrapes her little finger on pictures hoping they will become real! 

2. She will randomly think of her grandparents, says one of their names and then says "up" out loud as she raises her hands in the air.  She is wishing they were there to pick her up...how sweet.

3. We got a new car and she lets us know she wants to ride in the Prius. I think it is hilarious that is one of her new words among many other words she is learning every day.  She also likes to repeat the last word we say in a sentence. 

4. Some of her new sentences this week..."How are you?", "Thank you Mommy", and "Excuse me".

5. When we ask her to say Happy Birthday, she consistently says "Happy Cake"!

6. She loves the nursery rhyme Hickory Dickory Dock.

7. She had a chance to pet a snake at Nate's school Fun Fair.  Instead of touching it she grabbed a hold of it and Nate had to pry her hand off!!! AH!  

 

Seth-

1.  Blowing bubbles and drooling like crazy

2.  Usually starts cooing as soon as we lay him on the changing table

3. Starting to like his blankie!  

Have a great week!

5.

Bumbo Time!

 A few pics and a few new things going on around here...

Seth is 3 months old today!  He is also strong enough to sit in the bumbo seat.  He loves it in there and it is nice for us to have somewhere else to sit him now!  He just looks so cute sitting up in it.  Hannah loves him in there and is always asking if he can sit in the "bum-bum" , as she calls it!  

I love this pic of my 2 favorite men!  Most people think Seth looks a lot like Nate!  I agree!

 With the weather getting a little nicer lately, we went for our 1st walk in the double stroller!!!  I loved it!  I felt so proud pushing BOTH of my babies!

 This is one of Hannah's new favorite snacks...dipping graham crackers in milk.  She often asks if she can "dip"!!  She also graduated from her high chair into her booster seat at the table.  She is such a big girl!!

Tummy time

 Seth tolerates tummy time, but he really loves to lay on his back, hit the toys with his hands, and STARE at the flashing star light that hangs above him on his playmat!!

  A few things about the kids...

Hannah is really really into puppies right now. At the library they have a dog statue and Hannah LOVES it!  She sat and read it books for at least 30 minutes the other day and was continually asking for treats and bones to give it.  It was really cute.  Reading books is definitely one of her favorite things to do right now.  She always wants to read books first thing when she wakes up and spends a lot of time just "reading" out loud on her own.  Her favorite books right now are the "Spot" dog books.  She is also really into looking at pictures of family members and saying all of their names.  Throughout the day she will think of someone in our family and just start saying their names...it is sweet.  I could go on and on with Hannah stories. She is just doing so many things all the time!  Seth is doing well too.  Staying awake and alert a good portion of the day with lots of smiles on his face. We couldn't be more thankful.
