What's happening with us Hamilton's....

It's been almost a whole month since my last blog post.  Fall weather is in the air.  The past few days have been a lot cooler.  Which is a nice change from the hot days, but I'm still not ready for Fall to be here! It feels like Summer has come and gone too quickly.  But I'm sure we'll still have some warmer days this month.  And I'm happy we're living in Meridian, where it doesn't get too cold in the Winter.
Mckenzie is almost 2 months old.  She's started smiling and cooing a lot.  She is a great baby. Happy and healthy.  Although she does like to test our patience at night.  She is quite a grunter.  When she's waking up or falling asleep she wiggles and grunts.  Today I moved her pack n play into her bedroom.  We're going to try out having her sleep in her own room tonight.  We'll she how that goes....  I'll probably be up every hour just to check on her!

Channing is still an awesome big brother.  Today Mckenzie was crying a lot for a good 10 minutes and I couldn't figure out why.  She had a clean diaper, didn't need to burp, and wouldn't eat.  And when she was crying he was so concerned.  He put his hand on her and said "it's okay Kenzie, don't cry."  I hope he's always this sweet to her!
I think she's wondering "how much can I eat before I puke?"

Snuggly little baby.

Buddies

You'd never guess from this picture that they were yelling at each other 30 seconds ago.  Friend-enemies.

We were all a little cold this morning. 

8 weeks old!

Channing's favorite game right now is hide n seek.  And he's getting good at it!

    Have you ever tried running (more like slow jogging) with a double stroller?  My suggestion is to avoid it...unless you're into pain and frustration. I'm a morning workout person.  And I'm not talking about waking up before my kids at 6am and getting in a workout--I'm not crazy.  I'm into doing my workout when it's convenient and I don't have to sacrifice too much.  For example I don't like to exercise when I:  Have to wake up earlier than normal.  Stay up later than normal. Be too cold/hot for a long period of time. Or listen to a kid cry/whine the whole time.     Right now I've chosen to walk/jog in the morning after breakfast and before Mckenzie's nap.  That way the morning goes by quickly and I get a workout in.  Justin and I signed up for a race here in Meridian and that's my workout motivation...hence the jogging with a stroller.  I'm pretty sure the double stroller ways at least 75lbs with the kids in it....

Pain in the Neck Child

I have one child that's a pain in the neck because she has a pain in her neck!  Did you follow that?  Actually Mckenzie is adorable and an excellent baby, but the poor kid has torticollis.  Here's what google says about torticollis,  a condition in which the head becomes persistently turned to one side, often associated with painful muscle spasms.   Mckenzie only wants to look forward and to the right.  This has caused the right side of her head to become flat. Last Thursday I took her to the physical therapist that specializes in this problem and received lots of good stretches that I need to do with Mckenzie 2-3 times a day.  She also wants Mckenzie to have tummy time about 5 times a day for 5 minutes each time.  The only time I can do these stretches successfully with Mckenzie is when she is falling asleep for a nap.  And it takes about 10-15 minutes to complete the stretches each time.  We're hopeful that w...

$$ for Jeeps

Well I've done it again - bought another Jeep. But this time it was Melissa pushing me to do it! (what a good wife!) It's a 99 Grand Cherokee Limited (we previously had a Laredo by the same year.) The people were originally asking $4200 but we Hamiltoned them down to $2800 thanks to Melissa. I was talking & negotiating with the husband. And then the wife comes out appalled that the husband was coming down so much in price. And she snapped and said she was firm on $3000. So Melissa stepped up and said "I wouldn't give more than $2800."  The tension was high as the 2 women shot dagger-eyes at each other. Neither one backing down. Finally the husband agreed. And we drove it home. Then 2 days later I decided to list our Cherokee for sale around midnight, by noon the next day (today) I had it sold. It's been a busy day. So in 2012 alone, I've now owned 4 different vehicles. Melissa is the hospital today. She is just starting her preceptorship in labo...
