Channing

Channing Parker Hamilton was born March 1st, 2013 in Rexburg, Idaho.  In a few weeks we will celebrate his 5th birthday.  I remember when he was 1 or 2 years old it seemed like an eternity till he'd be 5 years old and heading to kindergarten.  And here we are, almost 5 years old. 

Channing:
Perceptive.
Sensitive.
Easily embarrassed.
Cries when he isn't allowed dessert.
Loves to ask, "so what's your favorite part about today," when being put to bed.
Annoys his sister like most brothers do.  But will offer her help if she needs it.  She usually screams at him when he's trying to help her and that sets him off.  He'll usually storm off saying, "I'm never going to be her friend!"  But then he's back playing with her 5 minutes later.
Heart of gold.
Good listener.
Compliments me on Sunday's and say that I look pretty.  He's learned well from his dad.
Wants to know the name of every dinosaur.
Bites his cheek, lip, or finger at almost every meal.
Screams when he stubs his toe.
Great imagination.
Cries if his favorite insect dies.
Picks up every respiratory virus that surrounds him.
Wants other kids to be his friend.
Loves one on one time with his parents.
A momma's boy.
Helpful.
Loves to camp.
Could eat hot dogs breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
