As my former boss used to always say, "Every day isn't perfect, but most of our days around here are really, really good."
Every day is a little bit different, but today was a pretty typical day for us...
Reid woke up for the day at 7:15. I fed him, changed him, and got him dressed. He still likes to swing for a few minutes first thing in the morning, but I think we are going to have to put it away soon. :( He's getting a little too big for it! I let him swing while I did a couple of quick things like rewash the clothes from last night that I forgot to put in the dryer. :) We played for a little while and then he jumped in the jumperoo while I "got ready". This is pathetic, but most days "getting ready" means putting in my contacts and brushing my teeth.
At 8:30 we headed over for a little play date with our walking buddies Jessica and Grayson. I forgot to take a picture, but we had fun playing and visiting! :) Reid went down for a nap at 9:3o when we got back. I was up 6 times with him last night (I'm not sure what was going on with him) and was really tired, so I napped too! He napped for 2 hours! This is the longest nap he has EVER taken. I guess he was tired from not sleeping last night. I fed him when he woke up and then we headed out to run a couple of quick errands.
We got back around 1:00 and ate lunch. Reid had green beans and squash. After lunch we played and read books.
He was being SO silly and smiley!!! You can see his teeth in some of these pictures!
He went down for another nap around 2:00 and slept until 2:45. While he napped I tried to put a dent in our huge mountain of laundry. I fed him when he woke up and then we rocked in the chair for a while. He was being super snugly, which I loved. I was planning to get dinner ready while he was napping, but since he took a short nap, I didn't have a chance. Luckily what I was making didn't involve a lot of preparation, so I got it ready really quick after he woke up. I try to get dinner prepared in the afternoon sometimes so I can just stick it in the oven when Chris is on his way home. After I got dinner ready, I bundled Reid up and we headed to the park to swing for a few minutes.
Mumsie stopped by after school for a short visit!
Reid took another little nap from 5:30-6:00ish. I fed him when he got up and then we played until Daddy got home at 6:45! Reid lights up when Chris walks in the door. It's so precious.
They played for a few minutes together while I went out and got a little bit of exercise. When I got back we ate dinner, played some more, then gave Reid his bath. We have so much fun at bath time! I fed Reid before putting him to bed around 8:15.
I am so thankful for my sweet life with my sweet 6 month old!
Loved this post =)
