Changing Channing's diaper has become a complete pain in the bum. I place him on the changing table and immediately he begins to roll over. Grr!!! Stay still child! I've learned which toys entertain him the most during diaper change time. His favorite is a bag of wipes. Probably because it makes a crinkly noise when he holds it. But sometimes even the bag of wipes doesn't do the trick and I'm forced to pin him down. Which ends with both of us flustered and frustrated.
Another thing that Channing hates is when I'm changing his clothes. For example, yesterday I decided to try on a 9 month shirt on Channing. After forcing it over his large head and shoving his chubby arms through the holes I looked down and noticed his belly poking out. I stood him up and two inches of midriff were hanging out. In my family we call this the "Britney Spears look". Not good. There goes another shirt in the too small box. (And yes Julia, I know it wasn't smart even trying an outfit smaller than 12 months. But it was cute!)
We've been trying the cry it out (CIO) method in the Hamilton house. (That goes for both baby and mom.) The first night things didn't go so well. The second night went better. I'm hoping we are on our way towards Channing sleeping through the night. But if there is one thing I've learned being a mom is: you think your baby is on a schedule? Wait till tomorrow or tomorrow night, in this case.
Besides those small moments of frustration I think Channing is probably one of the happiest and most well behaved babies. But then again I don't hang out with many other babies. He's especially adorable when he's asleep. Nice and quiet.
Channing can now get into a bear crawl position. He can't crawl yet but I'm sure that'll happen soon. And then we'll be in trouble.
