Channings 5 months old!!

Hes getting so big!! Hes over 15lbs! I cant believe the skinny little baby we brought home has grown so much! Hes starting to roll over and he can lighten any room with just one smile! He loves loves his reflection in the mirror. He thinks its another baby. I'm continuing to work with the same little boy but also looking for any dr office positions that may open up. I'm currently studying for the exam to get back into nursing school.... its very intimidating! Brandon is loving working at scottsdale healthcare. Great hours, great pay and great benefits! Its been a great blessing. Hes also starting school in a couple weeks. Were going to be busy! We went to a barbeque and he fed ducks for the first time. His reaction was cute, he got so excited! His friend Miles Mckay turned one on the 10th. His birthday party is tomorrow (sat) and Channing gets so excited everytime I mention it. Its a swimming party! Miles is the bigger baby in the pic above.

Here are some pics. Will add some of his 4 month old photo shoot. ITs SO cute!!In these pics, he ranges from 3 weeks to 3 months.

Poor Channing

He got his shots yesturday. then we took him to a birthday party for two little of his friends. He was SO cranky because of his legs. I feel really bad. Everyones gone through it yes but he is just so innocent.

Things with work are great for both of us. The lil guy I work with isnt doing well though and thats really discouraging. Brandons job is an amazing blessing! We have great insurance through it and its great pay and good hours. Hopefully he can keep that all through school...which they pay for. Then I will go to work full time while he is in the radiographer program. He starts back in school in Aug. for evening classes.

Channing is starting to eat semi solids now, just rice cereal but its still good. HEs laughing and smiling alot more now. Its so cute! We love him so much!!!

Nothing new here since our last blog. Were just keepin busy I guess. Channing goes to the doc tomorrow and we find out how much he weighs and then he gets his dreaded shots.

We are going to a birthday party for some four yr olds Brandon worked with. They are twins that were premature and have many problems. I hope they like their presents!!

Channing is doing well, growing like a weed. If you check out our facebook page, I put up some new pics of his photo shoot. Hes four months and started on some applerice cereal.

Well gtg, will write again soon.

Tomorrow...

Tomorrow we go to get shots. I'm so nervous because I know he will be in pain. I never want my son in pain again. While this isn't the worst he's gone through but he hasnt gotten hurt like that since hes been home and I just feel so horrible. I know I'm a nurse and Ive given babys shots before but not my son.

Vaccinations themselves are not my favorite thing. I really think the medical field does too much to our bodies. I'm not a complete naturalist but I believe that if its what God intended then it would be in our food or grow naturally in our bodys. Disease is out there, I'm not in denial but viruses (dead) arent the only thing in those shots. They have all these perservatives that will hurt the lil body. Plus theres mercury in most of them. If the virus isnt dead then it can change and grow into an even bigger disease then we know. They also give so many at one time. I'm just not comfortable with that. I think well space them out and not give any live viruses AND OF COURSE no mercury.
My wont my doc be happy with me!

grouting, painting, and cleaning OH MY!

We took down the walpaper which was horrible! Then we had to have a guy come texture, then we painted (I was prego so I couldnt help or even be home) It drove me nuts cause I'm a person who likes to do the job myself so its the way I like it...
The carpet was next to take out... Gross under 15 yr old carpet! Living on concrete was great.... We got carpet the day Channing came home so we had to stay at grandmas house for the first night. Every little sound would scare me about him. He turned, I was up. He was still a sick lil boy in my mind.
Were painting the front door today! RED! I Love it! We got a new lock too. Its gonna look real nice. Ill take some before and after pics.

HOme now

He is now 10lbs 3oz and was due last week!! He is a chunky monkey and the love of our lives! He has such a personality and can lift his head and is almost turning over! He has succeeded once already! We are getting into a schedule of sleeping most the night which I hope he sticks with.

Our dog also decided to have puppies on our brand new carpet! Thank heaven for peroxide! It takes the blood right out! The pups are three weeks old and have opened their eyes and are just so cute! Ill put pics up soon.
