Welcome To The Ritz » Kids http://www.welcometotheritz.com Just another WordPress site Sun, 29 May 2011 21:18:57 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 Super Star! http://www.welcometotheritz.com/super-star/ http://www.welcometotheritz.com/super-star/#comments Thu, 05 May 2011 14:12:30 +0000 Sarah http://welcometotheritz.com/?p=829 Hannah had her first music program last night. It was cutest thing I ever saw. She is such a performer and I was so proud of her. When she finally found me in the audience she yelled “Hi Mom”! I of course melted.

In the above picture, Hannah is in the second row from the bottom and the 4th child into the row.

Afterward, the class had refreshments in their classroom. She was so excited to show us her room. I am so happy she loves her school.

He has had a rough first year with all kinds of ailments…but he always has a SWEET disposition and is quick to smile. After Colic, Reflux, Ear Infections, an RSV hospitalization and an ever growing hemangioma…we are hoping the worse is over and he will be on the mend! He is a trooper. Through it all…he never fails to melt our hearts with his sweet smile and cuddles. I know he is going to be an amazing person…the love of God is already so evidently pouring out of him.

Milestones: he has four teeth (almost); he is trying to pull himself up and crawls everywhere; he says “hi; uh oh; da-da; and na-na…translated Mama. He likes most foods and is starting to finally sleep through the night. He is mischievously charming!!! When he gets into things he shouldn’t I say “No Eli…” and he laughs and crawls faster away from me! True boy!

She is very entertaining to say the least!

Crazy, messy, imperfect me. What amazing miracles they are. I simply can’t get enough of them…or give enough to them.

The world will tell you that fairy tales don’t happen…my heart knows they do. Sometimes I wonder when I will wake up from this truly amazing, breathtaking dream called “my life”. I am undeserving and under-qualified, and yet God has still blessed me with more than I ever could have imagined. Thankfulness has overwhelmed me.

It really just doesn’t get better than this….

Eli is already 4 months old and is definitely devoloping a personality of his own! He is so lovable and smiley and most definitely adores his sister.

Every once in a while she remembers he’s there and decides to love on him.  At this particular moment, she REALLY loved him. I of course ran and got the camera. I think she was getting a bit too close for Eli’s comfort though.

So Mr. Eli is on his second month and is already smiling at us and rolling over both front to back and back to front! He can’t be trusted anywhere alone or he will roll right out the door!! He is definitely our little “Hercules” and is a very motivated, curious baby anxious to get moving! He is also my cuddle bug and loves to be held 24/7. My favorite thing to do is kiss his chubby cheeks.
