1 Year Pictures

Between running errands and Justin selling our caravan today we decided to take advantage of the good Idaho weather and take Channing's 1 year old pictures.  Let me tell ya...gone are the days were Channing will sit nicely or crawl slowly while Justin snaps some pictures.  We took Channing's pictures at the greenbelt near the Idaho Falls Temple.  For the most part, things went well.  There were no tears from Channing (or me) so all in all it was good.  The way I think about it, if you have one or two nice pictures that are print worthy then you're set.  And thanks to Justin's nice camera and photography skills we have some updated pictures.  Here are just a few.
 Channing's face is just hilarious in this picture (above).  This was the first picture Justin took, and you can see how excited Channing is.  He probably spotted some girls in skanky clothes and was thinking, gosh guys it's not that warm yet, put some clothes on!
 Always with the fingers in the mouth....  Mmmm, that dirt tastes good.
He wouldn't sit still for a picture on the cool Idaho Falls bench.  Oh well. 
I like this picture because I just want to kiss those cute chubby cheeks!!

Happy Halloween!

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.

My reality check

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...

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....
