Hannah and Seth (20 months and 7 weeks)

 There is something so sweet about seeing our two kids together.  Hannah really likes holding Seth, he doesn't seem to mind it, and I think it is just adorable. She usually asks to hold him at least once a day. 

A few new things each of them are doing...

Hannah...speaking in a lot of phrases and saying new words all the time, calls out our names when she wakes up from her naps,  her favorite thing to do is definitely still play with her babydolls, says and signs "more" all the time, she loves going outside to play but doesn't really like the snow, & she loves watching Elmo and animal videos on YouTube! 

Seth...smiling, making eye contact, locks his legs and stands when we try to make him sit up to burp, loves to be held while we bounce on the exercise ball, likes to be all wrapped up in blankets, sweet as can be! 

  Below are a lot of pictures of the two of them!

How cute is this face?!  :)

Seth has gone 8 hours at night 1 time so far!  Usually he has a 5-6 hour stretch. 

Hannah likes to help entertain Seth while I change his diaper

Hannah loves to empty out Seth's diaper container!!!  She is also really good at emptying out her sock bin, pants drawer, and Daddy's wallet!!!

She loves ringing the doorbell


Seth's 1 month picture with Maya. 

Tummy time!  Have I mentioned that Seth rolled over when he was 13 days old!  He has been doing it ever since!

Grandma Ringger with Seth

Hannah likes to sit behind this curtain and play peek-a-boo

She loves putting socks on her hands.  For awhile, she would always have her sock on her hand when we would come and get her after her naps! 

Finally, our little newborn photo shoot we did at home!

Christmas 2010


 We had a fabulous Christmas with our two little ones. I have always loved Christmas, but it is even more joyous with Hannah and Seth.  Hannah really loved all the Christmas decorations and opening gifts this year and Seth slept through most of it all :) Everytime Hannah opened a present, she would squeal in delight before she even saw what was in it.   We traveled to Leo for the Clark Christmas, Indy for the Ringger Christmas, home for Christmas Eve, and Illinois for extended family Christmas.  Here are a lot of pics to document it all...

In Leo for Clark Christmas...

Finally, our Christmas in Illinois.  Below is the whole Witzig family together. We also saw my Ringger grandparents and family  but don't have a picture! Sad.  I think we were pictured out at this point!

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!
