Hamilton Happenings

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...

Here's a little update of our lives. School is going well so far.  Justin is loving his racquetball class.  And he's surviving his military fitness class.  He tells me it's a lot of running, stairs, push-ups, sit-ups, and I don't know what else, but it sounds like torture to me.  And he has a bunch of other CIT classes that I kinda zone out when he tells me anything about them.  This is what I feel like when Justin tells me about his CIT classes.... JK! I love you Justin! For me, school is pretty easy going so far.  I have one due date, December 11th.  So I'm in charge of managing my time.  My clinical this semester will be teaching an infant CPR class to my ward.  I'm excited! We went apple picking about a month ago and here are some pictures.  Let's go pick some apples! Justin climbing the tree to get the best looking apples.  And here's Channing freaking out because he thought daddy left us for forever. ...
