it's hard to believe that just a month and one day ago, our lives were completely different. and at the same time, it's hard to imagine our lives any different than the way they are today.
jtp - one month in and he finally figured out the bouncy seat thing. LOVE IT. we got through an entire meal without a single cry.
and if you're wondering what a "typical day" looked like this past month...
6:30AM - baby chase wakes up for the morning feeding, and mommy and baby head downstairs to give daddy a few more hours of extra/uninterrupted sleep.
6:30AM - baby chase wakes up for the morning feeding, and mommy and baby head downstairs to give daddy a few more hours of extra/uninterrupted sleep.
7:00AM - baby chase falls back asleep, mommy checks email or watches the news
8:30AM - time to eat again, diaper check
9:00AM - let's try the bjorn, mommy is able to do some stuff around the house hands free (i.e. sweep, laundry, more email, take out the trash).
9:30AM - daddy's usually up around this time, we make him some coffee and somtimes some breakfast
10:00AM - daddy takes over baby duty for a few hours
10:30AM - feedin' time, diaper duty... back to dad
11:00-12PM - we usually get a good nap in here (mommy lately too), and mornings are usually "less fussy" than evenings
AND all of this repeats itself many more times during the 24 hour cycle... infused with some crying, lots of feeding, pooping and peeing and or course sleeping (mostly for baby that is). the tough times usually happen around 6-10PM and between 2-4AM. but the awake/alert times (sans crying) have been occuring much more frequently this last week, and baby chase has made a friend... his best friend "the fan". he LOVES to stare up at the fan. so we're hoping that k and mm can teach him to sign "fan", just as soon as he's old enough.
happy birthday baby chase. we love you.
