rachel and pumpkins

well, we have been busy the last few days. we decided not to wait until halloween night to do our pumpkin carving, so here it is. i was feeding and caring for rachel, so dad got the job of carving and degooing the pumpkin with the older kids. i wasn't jealous, believe me. i think cleaning out the goo is yuck. i'm happy to have a loving husband that will do it for me!! caleb went ballistic for some reason saying how afraid he was, and screaming his head off when we told him we were carving the pumpkin. not sure what the deal was, but he got over it when i got out the blinking light to put in the jack o lantern. silly boy!!
rachel is starting to grab the spoon when i try to feed her in such a way that it gets everywhere. so i started giving her another one, that way when i put a bite in, she can hold onto that spoon, finish the bite, and i'm ready with another one to swap her with. it's great. and the kids can't get enough of rachel. she is such a sweet baby, and laughs and smiles so much. she is also rolling over from her back every time i lay her down. it's nuts! i try to change her diaper, and she's flipped. she is fast too! i tried twice to video it, but only go the tail end. sorry i sound so retarded!! enjoy!

She is so cute Marne. She is more mobile than Taryn. She will be moving and shaking in no time. Beware! What is she going to be for Halloween?
