A day in the life...

Today, I'm going to chronicle our day.  

5:02am:  wake up, crying....

-- this is an hour earlier than her normal wake up time, so I was taken a little off guard.  I guess I can't be too upset, as it means she still slept roughly 8 hours straight.

5:05am: take a bit of a bottle while mommy rocks me a little.  

5:20am: back asleep...

7:15am: wake again and take another small bottle before going back to sleep around 7:30am

8:26am: officially wake up for the day.  I played on my "jungle gym" for a while, until I got fussy and mommy put me in the bouncy seat.  We played there for a while.  I talked to mommy and practiced slobbering and cooing.  

10:00am:  time for my mid-morning bottle!  It was delicious.  

10:30am: I finished my bottle and was sooo tired.  But, I would rather cry about about being sleepy than actually sleep.  Mommy tried and tried and tried to get me to go to sleep. 

11:15am:  I was nearly zonked out, so mom put me in my crib for my nap. Little did she know,  I had a surprise in store!  

11:45am:  hehehhe!  Surprise! I spit up on myself & my sheets! Mommy had to change all my bedding, and I got on a new outfit! 

12:10pm:  ok, that's all over with.  But, now I'm traumatized bc of the "incident," so... I'm refusing sleep again.  Mommy puts me in my favorite place... My bouncy seat.  We hang there for a while and talk about my toys: Jerome the giraffe and Buttons the monkey.  They are my BFFs! 

12:30pm:  ok, I'm tired.... Let me snooze for a few minutes.

1:07pm:  oh my stars! I nearly slept through my next bottle... No worries, my catnap has me refreshed!

1:15pm: Num num num! Bottttllleee!

1:30pm:  So, I'm working on this bottle... But, surprise!  Poooopy diaper! Hehehhe!

1:45pm:  Mommy tried to get me to go to sleep so she can clean the kitchen. pahhhhh! 

2:00pm:  she just keeps rocking me, as if I'm tired. She even put me in my crib, but that isn't going to stop these lungs!

2:15pm:  it seems mommy has given up on the sleep thing.... She put me in my swing to play!

2:30pm: *snoring*

3:06pm: wha? Where am I?  Let me cry to make sure mom is still around. Oh good! She is... And she gave me my paci! I think we should play a game!  It's called, "suck on the paci til it falls out of my mouth and then cry about it until mommy comes and puts it back in."  It's a great game.  Mommy doesn't seem to like it very much....

5:45pm:  ummm...Wow!  That was some nap! I was so sleepy....that wretched woman woke me up!  Now, it's time for my medicine and a bottle, stat! 

6:48pm:  going to church tonight... I don't wanna go.  You can tell that by allll the crying.  But, on a positive note, I'm out of my brace for church!!! And I have on an outfit from my friend, Kristen Dean.

7:25pm:  I've done pretty well at church so far!  But,  I got a little gas and decided crying was appropriate.  For the first time, DADDY took me out of church and walked around with me.  I guess I'm a little tired...

7:35pm: *zzzzzz*

8:15pm:  oh, that cat nap was GREAT! 

9:00pm:  I'm home now, but sadly I had to put my brace back on already....but,  good news! It's BOTTLE TIME! 

9:25pm:  I feel crying is appropriate.  

9:45pm:  ok, that's over with... I'm kinda sleepy...

10:00pm:  I keep dozing on and off while in my bouncy seat.  But, mommy picked me up.  I like sleeping on her shoulder.

 

10:10pm: ahhhh, my bed! Goodnight!
