A baby of many talents...

Justin hasn't created a blog post in a long time. Since I'm the one with most of the free time I thought I would take over. Although Justin is much more creative and better at writing.

Channing is 6 months old - as of September 1st. He's definitely a "happy and healthy" baby, as one of the last blog posts mentioned. Fortunately, he is pretty content most of the time. Unless he's tired; has a dirty diaper; or is hungry. Being hungry probably gets him the most upset...boys. He can sit up by himself, get up on his knees and rock back and forth (he wants to crawl so bad!), scoot around, and grab toys and pass them between his hands. He's eating solids a little better. I attempt it maybe once a day.

The newest thing he does is hold a toy (or sock) in his mouth and chew on it while he tries to grab something else. I guess whoever said boys can't multitask was wrong....

School starts next week. Guess what!? It's Justin's last semester! Yeehaw! We do not know where we will go after the semester ends. But I won't deny that I have a place in mind that I hope we end up.... ;) But wherever we end up, I know I'll be fine. As long as I have my two best buds!
The weather is changing here in Rexburg. It's nice not having to turn the AC on during the day. But that just means winter is coming!

It's a Good Life

Happy Father's Day to Justin! I honestly think he is the best husband and dad that I could ever ask for. Did you know that when Channing wakes up randomly at night all I have to do it shake Justin awake and he'll go take care of it? Yes, I am lucky. Dinner was steak, asparagus, and bacon wrapped corn. Mmmmm. I love the new things Channing learns everyday. The other day he saw me use an oven mitt and had to give it a try. Yesterday I walked around the mall, shopped at Target, and got a strawberry limeade from Sonic. It was fun. But then Channing didn't want to take a second nap and was cranky all day. Oh well. At least half the day was awesome! Yup, Channing still loves pouring water everywhere. And sitting in it....

Merry Christmas

It was a white Christmas here in Meridian, Idaho. On Christmas Eve we went to church for an hour and then came home and let Channing and Mckenzie each open one present. We made peanut butter blossoms for Santa's cookies. And we wrote letter's to Santa. We also watched mormon messages about the birth of Christ. For a few weeks the kids were earning pieces of straw to put in Jesus's manger. Each good act or deed equaled a piece of straw placed in the manger. Then on Christmas Eve we placed Jesus in the manger and talked about how all our acts of kindness created a nice, soft bed for baby Jesus to lay in. It was a great visual for them. (I got this idea from my Relief Society last year.) Making cookies. Mckenzie opened a book from the Crawford's. Channing got a fort building kit from the Crawford's. Letter's the Santa. These cute kids. Who knew Mckenzie wanted a puppy.... ...

Can't Wait To Be Done!

I'm really getting tired of school. I'm almost done with my second to last semester of school. Which means there is a lot of homework to finish in these next few weeks. It seems that when I have homework to do I have a cleaner house because I'll usually clean before I decide to do homework. I guess it's my way of procrastinating. Other ways of procrastinating are: Checking on my garden to see what's growing. Above is zucchini. Buying a new bike! Making spinach and cheese quiche. Playing peek a boo with Channing. Taking Channing to the park! It's been difficult to constantly have school in the back of my mind. There's always some assignment I should be working on. (I was just working on my physical assessment class and this blog post is my break.) School has been great and I am grateful to be a RN. I know school is important and I'm happy that I'll be done with my BSN in December!
