An update on Emily and Collin, Oct 2013

A little recap on what has been going on in the Hanchett household. The past couple of weeks have been non stop, that seems to be a trend when you have two little ones. There is NEVER any down time. But I must say we are never board there is always something going on.

A couple of weekends ago we went to the pumpkin patch and Collin got to pick out his first pumpkin. Of course my child did not want a normal pumpkin, he goes for the one that looks like it has warts all over it. He did not want to put it down. And on the way home, which is only about a 8 min ride, he fell asleep with his pumpkin in his lap. I was able to get a couple of pictures with them him and Emily and the pumpkins, but we could not get him to sit still very long. A couple of days later the next door neighbors were carving the pumpkins they got so we got Collin to get his pumpkin so we could too. He only cared about the process for about a 1 minute, then it ended up being a mommy project and I got to carve the pumpkin. I must say, it was pretty fun and I was happy the way it all turned out.

Halloween was a lot of fun. We decided to stay close to home and some friends of ours live pretty close. We both have children the same age to we all got to go trick or treating for about an hour. Collin was dressed as Mike from Monsters Inc. He really has never even seen the movie before, but when I was buying the costume, I was looking for the easiest, lightest costume they had. And this was simple it is just a shell he could wear over what ever he was wearing. This way he wouldn't want to take it off. I bought Emily a little pumpkin outfit that was so cute, and when it was time to find it, I could not find it any where. I am still so mad about that, I have no idea where I put it, so I ended up finding Collin's old pumpkin outfit and that is what she got to wear.  Collin did so good Trick or Treating, they went door to door and say Trick or Treat, and every time they gave him candy in his bucket, he said thank you. Towards the end of the night he was just saying Thank you before he would even get any candy. I think he just forgot about the whole "trick or treat" part. But over all I would say it was a success, and he slept like a rock when we got home.

A little bit on Miss Emily. She is growing like a weed. She is now wearing size 3mon clothes and we are about to move to size 2 diapers. We still have not tried baby food yet, but soon. The past couple of days she has had a runny nose, but it has been from the weather and I think she must have allergies, like the rest of us. But the new trick she has learned is the mirror. She loves to talk to herself. She can go on and on and on, and boy she gets loud, and scrunches up her eyebrows, it is like she is yelling at her self. So funny. She talks a lot more than Collin did at this age and make a ton of different sounds. I think I am going to have a little chatter box on my hands when she gets bigger, because even now at 3 mons she wont hush.. LOL.  Here are some pictures from the past couple of weeks.
