Gracie Today

I'm always interested in other kids' schedules and likes/dislikes so here are hers!

This is her schedule the days I'm home/weekends
6:30 am Rise and Shine (Some days, like today, it's 6:15)
6:45 ish Breakfast- this is the one constant in our day (what she eats). She ALWAYS has whole milk mixed in oatmeal topped with applesauce, oj and milk combo to drink, and either a waffle or pancake- she eats almost all of it ever day :)
After breakfast = play time! (inside playtime)
She's still on 2 naps a day (I justify it being okay by how early she wakes up. On work days we are in the car out the door at 6:30 am)
Morning Nap- 8:30-? Most days its 60-90 minutes
After morning nap- small snack then playing
Lunch (if we are home) is around 12-12:30/play
**My window of time before the afternoon nap is very small here so if I need to get anything done she is usually having snack in the car and lunch is whenever we can fit it in!!
Afternoon nap 1:30-3 (Most days it's 90 minutes, today it was 2 hours!)
She is usually hungry after nap and this seems to be a very hard time for us. She will want to eat a little then go play and eat a little more (graze, I guess) And I can't seem to fill her up! This is usually the time I let her watch a Baby Einstein video while I start dinner. Most days at this time we run out for a quick trip for Sonic Happy Hour drink or another quick errand to break up the long afternoon
6:00 Dinner (though it seems to be getting earlier and earlier, she's hungry!!) Kelly and I most days eat with her but sometimes because of work or his tutorings he eats later.
After dinner it's play and bath/brush teeth (she hates brushing teeth) and then play a bit more then BED. (our favorite time ;) ) We try to keep her up until 7 but sometimes she doesn't quite make it. She never went to bed on time this whole spring break week and she proved that she will not sleep in, so it's back to regular bed time tonight! The great thing about her is that she never cries to go to bed for naps or at night. Most times she is climbing upstairs wanting to go to bed. I love that about her!
She is a VERY good baby but she does wear me out when I'm here alone with her all day. I try to stay busy running errands between naps. She is on the go now and doesn't like to sit much, who could blame her I guess!

Her BFF, Jack

Playing with a balloon at 6:30 this morning, who knew they could be so much fun?

She still loves all her babies (they are mostly mine from when I was little). She is also doing this new thing that is so funny. She comes up out of no where and gives these big almost bear hugs and hugs the back of my neck so tight then gives a sweet kiss. You have to catch the kiss fast because she's off and running again. She is mostly sweet but is developing a temper if she's not happy. I guess that's normal! We love you Gracie, the good, bad, and even the ugly at times!
