Future nudest?

By
I mentioned in my last post that we are doing the cry it out (CIO) method with Channing right now.  Luckily the past few nights have gone pretty well with little to no crying.  Maybe it's working?  I've been setting my alarm to wake me up at 3:30am so that I can do an extra dream feed with him.  This seems to help him sleep longer so I don't have to be up at 5 or 6am with a hungry baby.  Last night, or I guess it was very early this morning, I was feeding him when I felt Channing's tummy get really warm.  I touched his PJ's and they were drenched in pee!  I guess he pee'd while I was feeding him and his Target cheap brand diaper couldn't handle it. What goes in must come out right? 

In order for Justin and I, mostly me, to not hear Channing while we do this CIO thing we have to close Channing's door and our door.  Which means that I can only hear Channing if he is really crying hard.  Something that I don't like about this method is that I feel like I don't know how Channing slept at night or how long he's been awake when I get him out of his crib in the morning.  But hey, if it means I'm getting more sleep, then I'm okay with it.  And Channing is learning how to put himself back to sleep. 

This morning when I woke up Justin showed me a video he had taken of Channing when he went in to his room.  Apparently Channing is not only learning how to put himself back to sleep but he's learning how to undress himself.....   How he was able to get one arm out of his pj's is beyond me.  Next time we might just find him totally naked with his pj's thrown over the side of the crib.

    Have you ever tried running (more like slow jogging) with a double stroller?  My suggestion is to avoid it...unless you're into pain and frustration. I'm a morning workout person.  And I'm not talking about waking up before my kids at 6am and getting in a workout--I'm not crazy.  I'm into doing my workout when it's convenient and I don't have to sacrifice too much.  For example I don't like to exercise when I:  Have to wake up earlier than normal.  Stay up later than normal. Be too cold/hot for a long period of time. Or listen to a kid cry/whine the whole time.     Right now I've chosen to walk/jog in the morning after breakfast and before Mckenzie's nap.  That way the morning goes by quickly and I get a workout in.  Justin and I signed up for a race here in Meridian and that's my workout motivation...hence the jogging with a stroller.  I'm pretty sure the double stroller ways at least 75lbs with the kids in it.  20lbs for Kenz

Pain in the Neck Child

By
I have one child that's a pain in the neck because she has a pain in her neck!  Did you follow that?  Actually Mckenzie is adorable and an excellent baby, but the poor kid has torticollis.  Here's what google says about torticollis,  a condition in which the head becomes persistently turned to one side, often associated with painful muscle spasms.   Mckenzie only wants to look forward and to the right.  This has caused the right side of her head to become flat. Last Thursday I took her to the physical therapist that specializes in this problem and received lots of good stretches that I need to do with Mckenzie 2-3 times a day.  She also wants Mckenzie to have tummy time about 5 times a day for 5 minutes each time.  The only time I can do these stretches successfully with Mckenzie is when she is falling asleep for a nap.  And it takes about 10-15 minutes to complete the stretches each time.  We're hopeful that within the next 6 weeks we'll see some improvement.  The PT

A blessing, 4th of July, and a 2nd birthday!

By
I'm not good at posting on our blog frequently, so when I do post something it usually consists of many events crammed into one post.  And this entry will be no exception! Ya'll ready for this? Cue Space Jam Theme song. I love Summer time.  You can go outside without bundling up and we spend a lot more time outside when it's warm.  Walks, fishing, picnics! Love it all! Fishing at the pond with daddy.  One of Mckenzie's and Channing's favorite things to do.  One day maybe they'll actually catch something! ;) On July 2nd we had Isaac's baby blessing.  Then afterwards the Hamilton's and the Crawford's came over for a taco dinner.  We love having family close by.  Makes these kind of events great. On July 4th we headed out to Lucky Peak with the Crawford's for some boat time!  Mckenzie was actually super comfortable going on the tube and even sitting on the easy wake trainer.  Channing wasn't too impressed with either.
