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!

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....

Merry Christmas

It was a white Christmas here in Meridian, Idaho.  On Christmas Eve we went to church for an hour and then came home and let Channing and Mckenzie each open one present.  We made peanut butter blossoms for Santa's cookies.  And we wrote letter's to Santa.  We also watched mormon messages about the birth of Christ.  For a few weeks the kids were earning pieces of straw to put in Jesus's manger.  Each good act or deed equaled a piece of straw placed in the manger.  Then on Christmas Eve we placed Jesus in the manger and talked about how all our acts of kindness created a nice, soft bed for baby Jesus to lay in.  It was a great visual for them.  (I got this idea from my Relief Society last year.) Making cookies. Mckenzie opened a book from the Crawford's.   Channing got a fort building kit from the Crawford's. Letter's the Santa.   These cute kids. Who knew Mckenzie wanted a puppy.... ...

Can't Wait To Be Done!

I'm really getting tired of school.  I'm almost done with my second to last semester of school.  Which means there is a lot of homework to finish in these next few weeks.  It seems that when I have homework to do I have a cleaner house because I'll usually clean before I decide to do homework.  I guess it's my way of procrastinating.  Other ways of procrastinating are: Checking on my garden to see what's growing.  Above is zucchini.  Buying a new bike! Making spinach and cheese quiche.  Playing peek a boo with Channing. Taking Channing to the park! It's been difficult to constantly have school in the back of my mind.  There's always some assignment I should be working on.  (I was just working on my physical assessment class and this blog post is my break.)  School has been great and I am grateful to be a RN.  I know school is important and I'm happy that I'll be done with my BSN in December!
