Dress Up.... Dramatic Play

My little Princess with an attitude.

Cute as a button but she does have an attitude.

Riley and her cousin Jacks(on) playing with 3-D glasses.

We had a hard time keeping the glasses on while we tried to take their picture. Riley helps hold her glasses on by holding her head back and Jacks(on) just stands still.

Who ME?

Our Visit to Michigan

Here we are in Michigan at Nana and Papa's house. Nana took this picture of us. One of the few with all three of together. We had a great time in Michigan. It was very cold to us southerners but that is what the holidays are all about.

Riley and Brenden with their cousin Jackson. They had a great time together.
Brenden with Uncle Paco (Jeff).

Jeff received his name from Brock our oldest nephew and it stuck.

Look at those cute kids. If you look closely you will notice a red spot on Riley's nose. She was jumping on the bed (a BIG NO NO) and she fell hitting the TV stand. She walked away with just the a scrape on the nose. No black eyes or broken parts.

Once we made it home Riley wanted to go back to Nana's house. We also all came home with colds. Brenden was the worse. We made it home just in time to make it to the ER. He was not breathing too good and spiked a fever. They run a couple of tests and decided that Brenden has RSV. We were given some oral meds and sent home. We were in the ER a total of four hours. My hands are full with a sick baby and a toddler who is very needed all of a sudden. Other then that things at the Ringman house are good. Happy Holidays to you all.

Ready for the Holidays

Brenden's class at day care made this cute Indian (Native American) hat. It was cute to walk in and see all the babies wearing these hats. Most of them left them on their heads.

Riley is ready for her Holiday pictures. She picked out this fancy dress and then had to wear it right away. I had a hard time getting her to take it off to go to bed. She is not that much of a girlly girl but when she wants to be a princess watch out. She is looking forward to going to get some matching shoes too.

Little Mommy

Bath time is always a fun time here at our house. Brenden enjoys playing in the water and Riley loves to help. She can't wait until Brenden can sit up so they can take a bath together. This time Riley helped me by washing Brenden's hair. She took the shampoo and put into her hand and rubbed them together and then washed his hair.

Here she is still washing his hair. She made sure that he was really clean before we could rinse the shampoo out.
Look at that face. Sissy are you almost finished I am ready to play.
Look at this clean baby. He is so happy after a bath. He talks and smiles long after we are in our PJs.

GO BLUE!!!

The Ringman's support their team today. Riley and Brenden were dressed in their Michigan gear in hopes that Michigan would pull off a win against Ohio State. As we watched the game the kids cheered up their little voice were not heard. Michigan fell short and lost to Ohio State.

We need a football jersery for him to go with Riley's cheerleader outfit.

Bed Time

Here we are sleeping so sound in our bed. Now that we are three months old, we are sleeping through the night. We are spitting up less and becoming more social with others around him. He has learned to giggle and smile when you talk to him. He enjoys school/day care and is growing use to the noise of the other children and learning to sleep with the noise around him. Brenden also likes to snuggle animals/blanket when he is sleeping. He has to hold something in his hands or he will hold his hands together and sometimes he squeezes hard that he leaves marks on his hands. That is why we hold an animal or blanket now.

Jump Jump Jumperoo

We are growing up way too fast. We put our swing away and are now jumping in our jumperoo. Not that Brenden is doing a whole lot of jumping our his own. Looking close at this first picture you can see Riley's little foot helping Brenden jump. The look on his face is priceless.

Here his is looking at the little toys in front of him trying to decide what he is going to do with them. Each time he jumps or moves the little kangaroo jumps and starts to play music and the lights dance around him. Once he learns that he can make the lights dance, there will be no stopping him.
And of course we could not pull out a "new" toy without Big Sister trying out too. She wanted to play in the jumperoo too. So we pulled it up to the tallest position and she got in and look at those smiles. She had a blast.
Look at that hair. She was jumping hard and she had pulled out her ponys just before she started to jump. I guess it was a good purchase since Riley still enjoys swinging and jumping.

Trick or Treat

Well me made it through out first holiday, Halloween.

Brenden enjoyed walking around with Riley while she went trick or treating. Mommy pulled the two of them in their wagon around our neighborhood.

Riley dressed as a pumkin. She did not want a costume so we dressed as a pumkin.

Brenden and Riley in their "costumes". Brenden's hat and bib look like a black cat. His hat had the little ears and cat face on it.
Here our my two little pumkins. Both dressed in their orange and black.
