Pumkins

So I know it has been a while...again. I am not sure where the time is going but it is indeed going and I am missing it.

I thought I would give you a touch more from Halloween. I had so many pictures last time that I didnt add some of these. Zach didnt carve anything, obviously, but he did really enjoy pumpkin seeds. Cooked or not. He let me pick through the slime and just hand them over. He is just like a garbage disposal. The other day he went out in the rain, stomped in a puddle, put his finger in a gob of mud...laughed and ate it. Yeah, thats him. So even though its blurry, he is enjoying his seeds.

Also, his eye is much better. He will indeed have a scar though. It is still a thick red line that is a good bump. So its a great battle wound. He also is still enjoying Noah. And Noah likes him also. I think we are about past the hardest time with the two of them being so close in age. Now, I really cant imagine them being any farther apart. Noah is constantly asking Zach to play and visa versa. They laugh and run and play all day. However, Zach has a new technique. He screams. For anything and mostly nothing. He will scream if he wants a toy, if Noah ran away, and mostly if he wants me to come and help him. It is quite a day of noise around here with that. I am getting better at telling the sound and pitch though. Sometimes he is being dragged down the haul or helped down the stairs by Noah and he doesnt like that, so I can help there. Otherwise, he has been toughing it out.

Sorry, another blurry one. Im gonna need to fix that. Any who, Noah didnt mind touching all the goo. Which was surprising. He even did attempt carving with the little carving knives. It turned out great.

Noah is loving school. He got his school pics back and they are so sweet. I cant believe he is so big. We even got the notice that he will be singing with his school mates in a Christmas concert! He now knows all the words to Jingle Bells. That will be so fun.

He is also a big help with Zach. Especially when Zach wakes from napping or sleeping, Noah goes and gets him from his room and brings him to me saying "go to mommy Zach...goooo to mommy". I can always hear these two coming.

Lately he has been obsessed with babies. He pretends everything is one. He rocks them, tucks them in and puts them to nap. Then he will grab the monitor and watch them sleeping in his room. Hilarious. Sometimes he even puts things inside his shirt like he has a baby in his tummy.

Here are the finished products. They were fabulous. We even had one that was polka dotted.

And yes, Tony still has a beard. I really like it actually, but he says he just wanted to keep it for the month of November. It will be weird to see him without it.

And as for the newest baby, we just had our 5 month ultrasound. It really feels like I should be farther along. Isnt that how it always goes? Anyway, it is really and truly a girl. Which is very exiting. For a moment we wondered if it maybe a boy and both of us were sad. So we are very thankful for her. She is a feisty one though. She is already head down...way down. So much so that we couldnt get a profile picture of her so we need to go back to get it completed. At one point she also gave us all the bird. She has the Dunn personality too I guess.

I also need to be drinking more water and resting a bit more. I get tired easier and my tummy muscles get crampy and sore. The Dr said it is just from 3 babies back to back. But with 4 months to go its just a bit discouraging. I am praying that more water will do the trick, but if not, that I will listen to what my body needs.

Happy Thanksgiving!
