2 Birthdays and a Baby Girl

By
The month of March has been pretty busy for us, in a fun way.  Channing celebrated his 2nd birthday! We invited over some friends and ate bbq pulled pork sandwiches and other yummy things.  Channing was a little confused about why there were so many people in our house.  Including us there were 10 adults and 6 kids.  Channing loved having everyone sing him Happy Birthday...and it is now his new favorite song.

Dinosaur cake!

He could not wait for his friends to arrive!

Probably Channing's favorite part of the night...eating cake and ice cream.

At Channing's 2 year appointment he weighs 33lbs and is just a little over 3 feet tall.
 This month Justin has started working from home a lot with a start up company called Real Results Online.  Whenever Justin leaves his office Channing will run in and take over Justin's chair.  He's just like his daddy...loves being surrounded by monitors.

I had to include this picture because I think Channing's cheeks and ears are adorable.

Visiting mom at work!!

On March 9th, my 24th b-day, we got to find out that we're having a baby girl!  Now time to pick out a name, which we aren't very good at.  I'm so happy to welcome a little girl into our family!!

Justin and Channing came with me to my ultrasound appointment.  Then while I was waiting for the check up part of my appointment they went across the street to see the diggers.  Channing didn't care too much about the ultrasound but he was sure happy to sit in a digger bucket! 


 I had a great birthday.  Hawaiian beef dinner and ice cream cake dessert!  And the best part was seeing a healthy baby on the ultrasound!

Enjoying a warm day.

Justin taught Channing how to climb a rock.

Family campfire night! 

And this is Channing as I try and write this blog post.

My reality check

By
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...

Happy Halloween!

By
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.

Ooooh crap

   Merry Christmas! It's December 12th and beginning to feel a lot like Christmas!  The tree is decorated and we are slowly adding presents underneath it.  What's new with the Hamilton crew? Well let me tell ya.  Justin is starting a new job as St Alphonsus's webmaster next Monday.  Which means I can kiss my daytime freedom goodbye.  Since February Justin has been working at home with a start up company called RealResultsOnline.  So if I had both kids down for a nap I could easily leave the house to go grocery shopping or whatever.  Now I'm heading back to the reality of being a stay at home mom.  Anyways...I'm sure I'll survive.  Because what choice do I have?!  We'll miss you Justin....  Especially Channing.  That kid loves peeking in on Justin during the day and getting in lots of daddy play time.  But we think this new job will give us better opportunities for the future.  So yes, I gotta suck it up!...
