Our Cutie

Here are some pics of Hannah that have been taken in the last couple of weeks. I feel like we are discovering new things about her all the time as she discovers the world around her. A couple new things that are fun... Hannah has become ticklish so we can get quite a few giggles out of her, she has two baby teeth that came in at the same time, she has become Mommy's shopping buddy as she sits up in the front of the cart, and she really likes pop-up books mainly so she can put it in her mouth :) She is such a cutie!

Fall Break

Nate had fall break this week, so he was home for 5 days straight! I am staying home this year with Hannah (yippee!), so we were excited to have him around both day and night! Hannah just gets so excited to see him and starts smiling, squealing, and kicking as soon as she hears his voice. We visited family during some of the break, but mostly we were home hanging out. We call Hannah our "home girl" because she is always the happiest when we are home and stick to our routine. We did have a lot of fun, including Hannah dressing up for her first Halloween as our baby bumble bee. I think she looks pretty precious. She also had her first rice cereal meal, which she really loved. She was really into it and did great. She also experienced pumpkins for the first time and got to play with cousins! She is so much fun! See the pictures below!

6 Things for 6 Months!!

Hannah is 6 MONTHS OLD...half a year already! She is doing new things all the time! Here are just 6 things she does at 6 months old that
we think are pretty cute!

1) She can sit up by herself!!! (above) As you can see from the picture, Daddy is so proud! :)

2. She reaches for EVERYTHING! She will go to great lengths to get what she wants!

3. She has enough hair to hold in a bow!! It's also pretty fun to sit on Daddy's shoulders!

4-6 videos below
4. She melts our hearts when we hear her sweet giggle! (top video)

5. Jumpin Jumpin Jumpin ( 2nd video)

6. Hannah has found her voice! She loves to squeal! (3rd video)

Our sweetheart is growing up so fast. Hannah has a new cousin, Elena Kate, born to Adam and Casie this past week (congrats to them)! It is amazing to see a little newborn and then see Hannah and think how much babies change right before your eyes!
We are having the best time with her!

Birthdays, Birthdays, Birthdays

The month of September is full of Birthdays on both the Ringger & Clark sides! This post is in honor of some of our family members who celebrated a birthday this past month. We have the best family and are so thankful for their influence on our precious Hannah, who is already 5 months old (included is her 5 month pic with Maya).



I celebrated my 28th birthday on the 27th. Yes, I got a Snuggie for my birthday. It is awesome :) And a pic of my sweet baby with me on my birthday! She is the best gift ever.

My nephew Jed also celebrated his 1ST birthday on the 25th. Here he is on his new John Deere tractor! The next picture is of him eating his cake!











































My sister Amy celebrated her 32nd birthday on the 2nd! She is the mom of Jed :)







Hannah's cousin Emery celebrated her 2nd birthday on the 14th! She is riding Jed's new horse and being a big cousin by helping Hannah put the paci in her mouth!





























My sister in law Tiffany celebrated her birthday on the 22nd. She is having a baby in March...yay!


Uncle Steve and Aunt Bonnie also celebrated birthdays in September...the 6th and 14th.





Last but not least, sweet little Lilly was born on the 2nd to Ryan and Kristin.







My Grandma Ringger (who was pictured in the previous post) had a birthday. Also, my cousins Ben, Erin and Tyler also celebrated a birthday. I hope I'm not missing anyone :) We love you all!

Weddings

The past couple of months we have been to 2 weddings...my cousin's in Chicago (above) and my friend Jeanne's in Kentucky (below)! Jeanne and Julie are twins, and are my best friends from college. They were both in my wedding, and I had the privilege of being in both of theirs! They actually got Hannah the dress she is wearing in the above pictures for my cousin's wedding. They had her initials monogrammed on the front of the dress...so sweet. The cutesy hat is from Nate's mom Leslie! The outfit worked perfectly :) Hannah is with my Ringger Grandparents in the picture above. Hannah was just talking away with Grandpa! For Jeanne's wedding, my mom came down to help with Hannah since Nate had football and wasn't able to come. It was so much fun. We didn't get a good picture of Hannah in her actual dress she wore to the wedding, but you can kind of see it in the last picture. I think she looks adorable :)

Play Time!

Hannah is having so much fun these days. She loves to play and is smiling and giggling a lot, except when she is in the church nursery!! Ahh! The last couple of times we have taken her there, we have gotten paged because she is screaming crying and they can't get her to settle down. Hopefully this stage passes soon! The picture above is how we found Hannah the other morning...just chilling with her legs up on the bumper. It was too cute. Below is her sucking on her big toe. This is one of her favorite things to do.

Smiling with her doll...

Chewing on her keys...

Beautiful smile while playing in her jumpy toy. What a joy she is!
