A Day in the Life of Avery

 A typical day for our baby girl looks like this:

5:15 AM- I start to stir in my crib, but on days when Mommy goes to work, Daddy comes in to give me a paci, and I go back to sleep.  On days when Mommy is home (those are my favorite!) I get to get in bed with Mommy and Daddy and fall back asleep for another hour or 2.

6:00-7:00AM-  This is usually when I get up to start my day!  If Mommy is gone, Daddy will play with me for about an hour until I start to get hungry.  He likes to sing me Acapella songs, read me books, and talk to me while he eats his breakfast.  Without fail, he ALWAYS takes a picture of me to send to Mommy at work so she doesn't miss me quite so much.  If mommy is home and I go back to sleep with her, I usually sleep until 8 or so, so she immediately feeds me. 

8:00AM-  Breakfast time!  Whether Mommy is able to feed me or Daddy is giving me a bottle... I LOVE to eat!

8:30AM-  If it's a school day, this is usually about the time Daddy takes me in.  If I'm at home with Mommy, we are probably playing some, or I'm hanging out in my baby swing while Mommy tries to take a quick shower.

9:15(30)- 11:00-  I take a nap.  Most of the time with Mommy :)  But if she needs to do things around the house, I sleep in my swing (not for nearly as long as if I was napping with Mom, can you blame me?!)  When I'm at school, I don't seem to nap nearly as long.  Most likely a combination of the noise and being used to snuggling up with Mommy :)

11:00-  Lunch time.  Since I have started day school, I have been thankfully eating and taking a bottle like a champ.  I usually drink all of the bottles that Daddy sends to school with me!

My favorite thing is going to meet Daddy for lunch at our favorite place, Ruggles Bakery!

11:45-12:30- I usually take an abbreviated post-lunch nap. 

12:30-2:00-  This is usually the time where Mommy tries to cook/clean/play with me all at the same time!  I usually switch back and forth between my playmat, bouncy chair, swing, and exersaucer.  I like to sit in my bouncy chair and watch Mommy cook in the kitchen :)

2:00- Afternoon snack. 

2:30-4:30PM-  I LOVE to take a long afternoon nap.  And when I'm at home, I know that when I get up from my afternoon nap, Daddy is close to being home!  When I'm at school, Daddy usually comes to pick me up between 5:00-5:30.  And let's be honest, a lot of days, it's earlier :)

5:00PM-  Early dinner.  Usually I eat, and then Mommy and Daddy chow down while I play in my bouncy chair

5:15-6:30PM-  This is when I get to hang out with Mommy and Daddy at the same time!  On work nights, they are usually running around like crazy trying to get everything ready for the next day.  But the other days, we get to hang out on the couch together.  Mommy and Daddy usually talk about how pretty I am, or try and get me to smile (which happens very easily :) 

Or... I play X-Box with Daddy!

6:30-7:00PM-  Splish Splash and I was takin a bath!

7:00-8:00PM-  Usually I start to get pretty tired/fussy around 7, and I am ready to go down for a nap.  So, I sleep for about an hour, Mommy wakes me up to feed me and I go down for the night around 8:30.

8:30- ???  SLEEP!
