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.
O don't worry, he's happy again once daddy was holding him!
The latest and greatest with Channing is that he turned 7 months old,
started crawling (although he still prefers to army-crawl most of the
time), still not sleeping through the night, still not eating solids very well, and still super cute
and happy! Unless it's nap time then he hates life. Channing loves to do this downward facing dog with a leg up yoga pose. Maybe it's
called the peeing dog? I don't know. Watch how he can balance on only one leg.
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...
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.
Isaac will be turning 3 years old in a few weeks. This child is entertaining, friendly, funny, stubborn, sneaky, demanding, curious, silly, feisty, and talkative. He reminds me of my grandpa, Papa K. Before Papa K's stroke he would constantly find random people to talk to. I remember on a trip to Europe with Papa K, Dede, my mom, and Carrie we met lots of new people. And at every possible opportunity Papa K would try and talk to these people. Isaac seems to have inherited this liking for talking to complete strangers. Today on a walk around the pond Isaac spotted kids/teenagers fishing. Naturally he rode his strider bike right up to them, hopped off his bike, and got right into a conversation. He rambled on and on about who knows what until we had to make him keep riding. He also likes to yell, "stop! Hey stop!" at random strangers to get them to talk to him. Today he stopped a couple who was walking holding a new looking baby an...
