A Day in the Life of an 11 Month Old

I saw this on another blog and thought it was cute and wanted to try it. Here goes...

A Day in the Life of an 11 month old. Wednesday, September 10, 2008.

5:50 am, I first wake up to Kelly's alarm clock. I look at the clock and the monitor and see Gracie still snoozing. Good, because it's my day off today!

6:10 I hear her get up and start "talking" and playing in her crib. Around 6:15 I go get her as Kelly is going down to get ready to leave. As Kelly is leaving she has her first bottle of the day around 6:30. (I don't have any pictures because I wasn't going to do this today!)

7:15 Breakfast: She has 1/2 blueberry pancake, bites of a banana, some cheerios, and her juice.

(Doing her "How big is Gracie, so Big")

Love those cheerios!


7:30 Play time. I log on the computer and the Today show is on. I try to at least listen to know a little bit about what is going on in our world!

I know I cut off her head but I was trying to get her to look at smile and this is what I got!

Don't you want to play mom?

Around 8:15 she started crashing, early I know. I laid her down and off she went to dream world for a little bit. I got and bed to catch up on some shows on Tivo. (We could not live without Tivo!!) At 9:15 I hear her crying, already!

I'm ready to get up Mom! We play in bed for a little bit. She loves playing with the remote and always ends up turning the channel or turning it off! I decide to get up and get ready. I get her all dressed up too.

I even put in a bow but have to watch her like a hawk.

We're off to run a few errands, out comes the bow. First stop, the bank, then to get gas, then to Walmart.

Playing with her new doll that teaches her how to zip and tie. She mostly likes pulling out her hair!

One of my new favorite pictures! Look at this face! Can we please go home now!!

10:30 Somebody's getting ready for a bottle!

She's all smiles after a bottle and wants to play more.

11:30 Lunch. (Blogger ate my lunch picture!!) She had 1/2 a chicken nugget, raisins, a few bites of a dill pickle, and some juice. I had leftover chicken fettuccine that I made last night. She eats an okay lunch and then is very fussy, and tired. She played a little while I cleaned up then she was ready for bed. This was a very early nap but a pretty good one. Nap 12:30-2:15. I check email, blog, make phone calls, vacuum and dust, 2 loads of laundry.

She woke up ready for her 2:30 bottle then was ready to play more.

Playing peek a boo

There's Jack!

Toys! It always amazes me that she plays with these same toys everyday but she always cannot wait to dig in basket!

We had some tears.... She was crawling to me doing her "army crawl" and fell over it scared her. I gave her my little London taxi car to cheer her up. She loves this thing!

3:15 Snack time! She has raisins, yogurt bites, and more cheerios. She was too into her snack to look up.

4:00 Daddy's Home!! He's home very early today because we're taking him to Montana for a friend's wedding this weekend. We're very glad he's home but sad he has to go.

5:00 At the airport. Bye Daddy! We love you and will miss you terribly!!

We drive back to Plano to GG and Pop's house. Pop cooked he good barbecue chicken. Gracie did not eat much dinner and was fussy. At 7:10 she had her last bottle. I got her pj's on and ready for bed. She's spending the night at GG and Pop's because I work tomorrow.

On the porch with GG laughing at Tessa and Pop.
7:30 I leave to go home to check email and get ready for tomorrow. Gracie is hopefully going to sleep soon.

I'm home now blogging about our day, Phew!! What a day. It always amazes me how fast the day goes even when you don't do much. It was a great day though. I'm so thankful to be able to stay home a little more with my little pumpkin!!
