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.

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

By
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!

By
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!
