Outside...







Hannah and I decided to take Ben outside to hang out while she played with her toys. Of course, as soon as I got the sunscreen on him, she decided she didn't want to play outside anymore!! He enjoyed the warm weather and even took a little snooze!

Swimming with Ella







Hannah and Ella had big fun in Ella's pool this weekend. Hannah insisted on wearing goggles which was ridiculous because she won't go under water. The girls loved splashing and playing, and both were so sad when the day was over. Ben enjoyed snoozing in the warm weather while the girls played!

Aunt Teri's House!











Aunt Teri invited us to her house for dinner which was a nice change of scenery! Hannah got to play dress up and back cookies. She had a blast! She was glad to have some big girl time.

Best Buddies....




Hannah loves to read to Ben or lay with him on his mat. She is a wonderful big sister and a BIG helper. She is a pro at getting the pacifier in his mouth when he is fussy, and she is always letting me know when she thinks he's hungry or if he needs his diaper changed!

Is that a smile??


It has been a long 7 weeks with baby

Ben! He has had a terrible time with his tummy, but we think we might be on the right path now. After a choking incident last week, the doctor changed his medicine and he seems to be doing better now. He actually smiles and laughs with his sister, and can sit in his chair by himself so Mommy can get some things done. We have been homebound for the past 7 weeks, so hopefully we will be able to get out a little more with this guy!

Easter
















Last night, Daddy and Hannah colored the Easter eggs. Hannah loved making each egg a different color, and they used the magic crayon to write everyone's name on an egg. This morning, the Easter Bunny hid eggs around our house. Hannah found 15 eggs filled with candy. She also finally held her brother!! She even let me snap a picture and Ben gave us his smile that we so rarely see!

The New Ride




We finally got to the store today to buy the new stroller! Hannah still loves to go for rides in the neighborhood in the stroller, so we got a double stroller. Hannah can sit on the bench seat and Ben can ride in his car seat or, when he gets older, sit in the front seat. We went on our first walk today and everyone had a good time.

Big Sister Hannah....











It's been awhile since the last post. Our computer crashed, so we have been without our pictures for some time. Ben is also having some issues with some painful reflux. He has not been the happiest baby, so

we don't want to post a bunch of pictures of him crying! He is now a month old and Hannah is continuing to adjust to being a big sister and sharing her Mommy and Daddy. She loves to help out and bring him his pacifier. When Daddy helps out with a feeding, she likes to hold the bottle. Tonight she was showing Ben all the cool things that go with his play mat. He is getting big so fast!! Our house has been busy busy busy!!!
