A Day in the Life

A day in the life of Lennon; June 9, 2014.  Almost 5 months old!  I'm going to start at midnight since all of her night time wake ups are definitely a part of our day!  She normally goes to bed between 8:00 and 8:30.  Last night it was closer to 8:45 when she finally settled into sleep.  We still have her in the bassinet beside our bed.  She does take her naps (if we're home) in her crib though.

12:15 am:  wake up, eat
12:35 am:  back to sleep
3:30 am:  wake up, eat
4:00 am:  back to sleep
5:00 am:  wake up, bring into bed and nurse lying down
                This is the only way I can get a bit more sleep and feel half way normal in the morning!
5:45 am:  sleeping, I wake up and return her to bassinet

Foot to mouth

6:30 am:  wake up, bring into bed and nurse lying down
7:45 am:  wide awake!  diaper change
8:00 am:  quick visit with Dad before he goes to work
8:15 am:  eat, diaper change (in one end, out the other!)
8:45 am:  play on play mat
                She loves to grab for the toys hanging in front of her and pull
                them to her mouth.  Her newest thing in the last few days is to
                grab her feet and try to get her toes to her mouth.
9:15 am:  play in exersaucer

Loving the Exersaucer

                She's starting to jump a bit more in
                exersaucer.  Still most of the
                activity is trying to pull different
                parts to her mouth.
9:30 am:  getting cranky, time to start to settle
                                                            down for a nap
                                                            This involves some rocking and
                                                            white noise.  It can take 5 minutes to
                                                            20 minutes!
9:40 am:  sleeping!
                During her nap I shower, get dressed, throw in some laundry,
                load the dishwasher, tidy up etc.  I do as much as I can - she naps
                anywhere from 30 minutes to occasionally over an hour,
                usually around 45 minutes.
10:30 am:  wake up from nap
                  diaper change, get dressed (can't stay in jammies all day!)
                  sit in floor seat, play
11:00 am:  eat, diaper change
11:30 am:  play mat, tummy time
                  She has still only rolled over a few times.  She gets frustrated pretty quickly on her tummy
                  but isn't consistently pushing herself up to roll over yet.
12:00 pm:  Jolly Jumper - video is from a couple of days ago, she loves it!

12:30 pm:  ready for nap, read a story
12:45 pm:  sleeping!
                  Again, I try to do as much as I can around the house.  Sometimes I do just sit and do
                  nothing though!
1:15 pm:  awake...already, diaper change
1:30 pm:  back in the exersaucer
1:45 pm:  eating, rather sleepily this time - why not nap longer?!
2:10 pm:  half asleep, taking a rest from eating
2:25 pm:  back to eating
2:45 pm:  load up and go to grocery store
                Lennon was very good at the store.  Happily chewed on her Sophie.
3:40 pm:  return from groceries, fell asleep in the car, napping
4:25 pm:  wake up
4:30 pm:  playing
4:40 pm:  eating, diaper change
5:15 pm:  playing on play mat so I can try to start dinner
5:40 pm:  Dad gets home, takes over entertaining Lennon so I can finish dinner
6:05 pm:  into the Jolly Jumper so we can eat dinner.  She really loves the Jolly Jumper!
6:30 pm:  gear up and go for a walk
7:20 pm:  return from walk, fell asleep during the walk - have to wake up to get ready for bed!
7:30 pm:  bath, pajamas
7:40 pm:  eating
8:05 pm:  fast asleep :)

And then it all starts over!
