A Day in the Life...Part 2

Part 1 

1:00pm- Tanner is finally asleep.  So I make myself another cup of coffee and some lunch.  Nick comes home for a quick bite to eat so I make him lunch, too.  Then I sit down and relax a little bit and write a blog post. 

 

2:45- Tanner poops and wakes himself up. I change his diaper and he's ready to get up for good. 

3:00pm- We go out in the backyard and play!

3:30pm- Since we are already outside, we go on a short walk down the street.

3:45- It's HOT! 90 degrees. So we come home and cool off with some ice water, a snack, and some Mickey Mouse.

4:10- We play in the living room for a little bit, and then test out a new app on my phone.

4:30pm- Diaper change. Tanner tells me he wants to read.

4:45pm- Tanner is cutting 4 teeth at the moment and he gets cranky real quick. He starts fussing, and I know he just wants to cuddle with his paci.  So I give in, and give him his paci.

We read a little more.

5-6:00pm- Tanner asks for another snack, and I begin preparing dinner.  

6-6:20pm- I have dinner in the oven and Tanner watches me wash dishes.

6:30- Nick gets home from work and dinner is ready.

Seasoned chicken and stuffed tomatoes.

Tanner didn't like it.  Like normal.  So he had greek yogurt.

7-7:30- Nick gives Tanner a bath while I pick up toys.

7:30- Tanner is out of the bath.  We try to get him to pee on the big boy potty (like we do every night) but he doesn't go.  He gets changed into his PJs, plays a little bit, nurses, and I carry him back to his crib for the night.

Tanner is asleep by 8pm.  I take a quick shower and then relax with Nick and catch up on some of our recorded TV shows.  And then bed around 10:30. 

And there you go!  A nice long typical day in the life.  Not all of our days are that boring, though. :)

A Day in the Life...Part 1

I've been wanting to do something like this for a while.  And since I have a pretty decent routine, it seemed like a good time to do it.  I took pictures of everything I did on Monday.  There was nothing special about Monday, it was just a random day.  I didn't have laundry to do, I didn't run that day, and I didn't need to run any errands.  It was a typical day. 

I didn't use my DSLR for these pictures so I apologize   Many of the pictures are blurry.  Especially if Tanner was moving a lot. 

6:30am- Tanner wakes up. He usually wakes up between 7 and 7:30, so I let him play in his crib for a little bit, hoping he would fall back to sleep.

7:00am- No luck.  I go in and get him up, and change his diaper.

7:15- Tanner nurses, and watches some Mickey Mouse while I check facebook and email.

7:45- Tanner helps me in the kitchen while I make breakfast.

8:00am- Breakfast. 

8:15- Vacuum, sweep kitchen, wash dishes and unload dishwasher.  Tanner loves when I vacuum.  It's a game to him.

8:45- Time for tot-school!

9:30- Tanner tries so hard to get the stroller out of the spare bedroom.  He tells me "help" and "outside".  So we get dressed, I do my make-up, and he has a diaper change.












10:00am- We go for a nice walk.  After about 1.5 miles we stop at the park to play.

11:00am- I water my plants while Tanner plays in the living room.

(For some reason blogger will not let me type next to the picture anymore...)

11:30- I start Tanner's lunch (cheese ravioli), and we play in the kitchen.

12:00pm- Tanner eats.

12:30pm- Diaper change, nurse, and Tanner to bed.

(But he doesn't fall asleep...)

(He's standing up on his pillow pet)

1pm- He finally falls asleep.

Next post will be part 2 of my "Day in the Life"...
