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.

My reality check

By
Remember how in my last few posts I talked about how we were teaching Channing to put himself back to sleep by letting him cry it out?  Since Channing has been sick for over a week that has all gone down the drain....  The poor kid is so congested all the time.  When we wakes up at night he usually will not take his binky and fall back asleep.  Instead he needs his nose suctioned, which usually requires Justin holding Channing's head still or it's impossible.  And lately he will not go back to sleep at all until he's fed again.  Last night it was every 3 hours.  I don't know if it's because his throat hurts or he just wants to be held.  Whatever the reason, nights have been a little rough around here.  Oh, and his naps during the day have been pretty bad.  Crying a lot before falling asleep and then only sleeping for 20 or 30 minutes.  Motherhood is definitely a 24/7 job.  With no lunch breaks.  And get this!  Channin...

Happy Halloween!

By
I wanted to do a quick Halloween post so I won't ever forget how adorable Channing was.  He was a scarecrow this Halloween.  We used a pair of his overalls and I sewed on a few patches of material and then we stuffed his pockets with straw.  The paint on the nose thing didn't work so well...he rubbed it off the first time around.  Our ward did a trunk-or-treat in the parking lot.  Channing was a little skeptical about it all when we first started.  But he quickly got the hang of walking up to people, grabbing candy, and putting it in his bucket.  Someone gave him a sucker and he immediately had to have it!  At least he's easy to please!  Such a friendly scarecrow...had to say bye to the trick-or-treaters as they left.

Ooooh crap

   Merry Christmas! It's December 12th and beginning to feel a lot like Christmas!  The tree is decorated and we are slowly adding presents underneath it.  What's new with the Hamilton crew? Well let me tell ya.  Justin is starting a new job as St Alphonsus's webmaster next Monday.  Which means I can kiss my daytime freedom goodbye.  Since February Justin has been working at home with a start up company called RealResultsOnline.  So if I had both kids down for a nap I could easily leave the house to go grocery shopping or whatever.  Now I'm heading back to the reality of being a stay at home mom.  Anyways...I'm sure I'll survive.  Because what choice do I have?!  We'll miss you Justin....  Especially Channing.  That kid loves peeking in on Justin during the day and getting in lots of daddy play time.  But we think this new job will give us better opportunities for the future.  So yes, I gotta suck it up!...
