Easter Weekend

 We had a wonderful Easter!  Here are pictures from the weekend! Above are the kids with their Easter baskets!

We started the weekend with my side of the family...most of my Mom's side of the family (Witzigs) came out to Indy which was a lot of fun! 

Hannah's first time coloring Easter eggs!

Seth with Great Grandma Witzig

Holding hands with cousin Josiah...she is really into holding hands with her friends and cousins!

We spent Easter morning at home and at our church. We are so thankful for our wonderful church, Commonway!  We had a great service celebrating our Risen Lord!

We hid eggs in her room! We have been doing this about everyday since :)

 After church we went up to Leo to spend time with the Clarks! 

Papa Jack and Maggie (Grandma) and all the Grandkids!

Hannah spotted an Easter egg!

She found a lot of eggs during the egg hunt! 

I love Jack and Leslie's expressions in this picture!  Hannah finished her hunt and was showing them her eggs!

Ring around the rosie...

Cousin Emery wanted to hold Seth...

Hannah had to make sure Emery knew he is HER BABY!

Cousin hugs...so sweet!

Time with the Ringgers

Ringger cousins...Hannah, Josiah,  Jed, Seth

We have been having so much fun and feel like we have gotten into a good routine with the two kids.  Our days fly by with all the feedings, book readings, and pretending we do :)  I am LOVING the time I have with Hannah and Seth and feel so THANKFUL for the time to be at home with them right now.    The other day we went to the children's museum with my Mom, sister, and cousins!  We had a great time! Below are some pictures from that day and time with my side of the family.  

Grandma Ringger with all the grandkids.  Hannah LOVED pushing Josiah in the stroller! :)

Aunt Amy with Seth

Aunt Lindsey was getting lots of giggles out of Seth!

Hannah and Josiah created their own little band with my dad!  Every time Hannah sees a guitar (in a book, tv, etc.), she always says "PawPaw"! 

A few new things about the kids...

Hannah with her favorite doll...Baby "D"

Hannah-
-She is going to be 2 tomorrow!!! ahhh!
-When she wants help she says "help you".
-If I feed her with a spoon, she wants me to make a noise to go with it.  Usually she asks for "choochoo", "Elmo song"," puppy" sound, "meow", "Wheels on the Bus", or "ABCs".  It makes her so happy.
-She finds "ucky" things everywhere and wants them gone!
-She goes behind me and closes doors, drawers, and cabinets that I leave open!
- She is really good at pointing out pairs of things. Her favorite is pointing out "two eyes" on people's faces and then immediately saying "no touch"! 
- She loves to sing ABC song...she says "ABC" and then randomly says other letters as we sing the song.
- She had her first lie this week...when I asked her if she tooted after I heard it, she blamed it on the character "Sid" from "Sid the Science Kid" and then blamed it on "Baby D", and then on me!!!
-Everything is "mine" or "my  ____" these days.
- She likes finding planes and the moon in the sky
-She likes to put on my necklaces and look at herself in the mirror!

Seth 4 months old

Seth-
- He is very ticklish
- Wakes up happy most of the time
- Likes to try and put rattles/toys in his mouth
- He likes to kick his feet in the bathtub
- We had to put the bumbo away because he was stretching his way out of it
- He seems to like when Hannah sits by him and reads or gives him hugs and kisses.
- His face reminds me SO MUCH of Hannah when she was his age!

Spring Break 2011

We had a great spring break...time outside, children's museum, visiting grandparents, and just enjoying playing at home together.  Life is really so much fun with our two kiddos! 

Our handsome Seth...4 months old

4 month pic with Maya

He likes the bumbo, but he definitely makes me nervous that he is going to wiggle his way out of it! 

At the Indy Children Museum...Hannah LOVES it there!  Whenever we leave she says "trains again" or "dinosaurs again" for a few days afterward!

She is really into dinosaurs right now.  One of my favorite things she says is "Big Dinosaurs"! It sounds so cute.

Playing in the Dora exhibit.  Hannah really likes "BackPack"!

Seth had fun at the museum too!

Hannah loves riding on the horse at Meijer so we thought she would love the carousel at the museum.  Right before we went on this she rode the individual horse at the museum that was super fast and it scared her.  As a result, she only wanted to ride on the bench on the carousel! Ha!

She loves to pretend play with any type of "kitchen" toys

Playing the drums in the Egypt exhibit

We also went up to Leo and visited family! 

Playing the piano with cousin Lilly!

"No More Monkeys Jumping on the Bed"  

Seth really loves Maggie

Papa Jack having a tea party with Hannah

We recently went to Ag Days at the Muncie Fair Grounds.  We saw lots of farm animals.  Hannah was excited to see them but was scared to touch most of them!

Hannah plugged her nose and said "P-U" at most of the cages!

A few cute things Hannah does...

When she is finished reading a book she closes it and says "amen".

She has now become brave enough to climb up and go down the slide by herself!

She tells us "soon" when I let her know it is almost time for nap or bedtime.

She is really good at puzzles!

Hannah also likes to play "Ring Around the Rosie", and "Duck, Duck, Goose"!

Seth...

Our little man is such a strong little baby!  He loves to push up on his legs and can stand with not much support for a short amount of time! 

 He likes to look at his hands and blow bubbles!

He now weighs 14 lbs and is sleeping about 8-9 hours at night!

He is also enjoying jumping in the entertainment jumper! He has the best smile and is now squealing with delight all the time!!!

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!
