1:30 am
Awake and hungry!
8:14 am
Still asleep and resisting the idea of waking up…. But a moment later….
8:15 am
Awake and ready to play.
I can’t really leave her unattended in bed, since she’s getting rather mobile! Time for a diaper change.
8:45 am
Stella waits patiently while I make some breakfast.
9:00 am
Playtime on the floor while Mommy gets some work done.
9:10 am
Never mind that, Stella wants breakfast too!
9:20 am
All done, back to playing.
10:30 am
After another snack, it is time for nap #1.
11:32 am
Awake and bright-eyed and playing with her blanket! Later, she flips over and begins scouring the floor for any loose fuzz or crumbs, dragging herself in circles around the living room. In the process, she found her wisk (wisks are the best baby toys ever) and proceeded to pound, bounce, and chew it.
12:15 pm
Time for Mom and Stella to have lunch together. Stella’s feast includes Herbed Chicken with Pasta (chunky puree), some cooked carrots from mom’s lunch, and cheerios. Note the toes on her right side — her foot is tucked up against the tray, perhaps to gain more leverage on those wily cheerios.
1:15 pm
After a diaper change, it’s time to play.
2:05 pm
A little snack before settling in for nap #2.
3:11 pm
Awake and rocking out in her bouncy chair.
3:25 pm
Back asleep…we’ll call it “nap #2 (continued)”.
4:15 pm
Still asleep….that’s my girl! Nap #2 is usually 2.5-3 hours or so, but lately her sleep/eat/play patterns have been changing, so I was starting to wonder if I was going to get much of a nap out of her this afternoon.
4:23 pm
Awake — for good this time I think. Time for her to drag and inchworm herself across the floor. I wonder if the cat knows he’s being stalked….
5:00 pm
Time for a break with mom, followed by some kitchen time. We’re making Brupcakes and Scones and a Caprese Pork Loin!
6:00 pm
Call dad, remind him to come home….no answer, leave a message.
6:40 pm
Call dad, remind him to come home….he says he will!
7:45 pm
Dad comes home — time for some dinner.
9:00 pm
More playtime! For whatever reason, it seems like right before bed is when Stella tries to learn some of her newest and very best tricks — she actually crawled 2 little real crawls before going back to her belly-crawl!
9:30 pm
Bath time! This baby is getting too big for the little tub we have, and she splashes water everywhere!
10:15 pm
Bed time for Stella — and a worn-out mommy falls asleep soon after.
