A Day in our Life

I wanted to document a typical summer day for us.  This one happens to be a typical day while Dan was away on his mission trip and Svea and I were home alone.  They're quite busy, but full of fun!

7:30-Svea wakes up and plays and talks to herself in her crib while Mommy slowly wakes up. Sometimes Svea will find her paci and sleep another 20 to 30 minutes.

8:00-8:30-I finally drag myself out of bed to pick up a smiling baby and then we play.

8:30-9:00-Milk break and then I put Svea in her highchair to eat a few puffs so that I can have breakfast and do a few light chores in the kitchen.

9:00-10:00-I get Svea dressed and we play on the living room floor.  If it's rainy outside we'll stay in our pajamas!

10:00-10:30-Time to eat!  Svea gets cereal, a veggie, a little meat, and some fruit topped off with a few puffs while I clean up.

10:30-11:30-More play-time.  Depending on how wet the grass is we might go outside to play in the shade.  If it rained the night before we probably won't since the mosquitos will be out and ready to attack. If it's a day that I want/need to shower Svea will go in her jumper facing the bathroom and I'll get ready while we talk. We'll squeeze in a few books at this time too.

11:30-Milk break and Svea goes down for a nap.  She'll nap anywhere from 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

1:00-2:30-We usually play, read books, and if it's cooler out maybe a walk with the dog, but we usually save those for the evening.

2:30-4:00Milk break!  If it's a nice day outside I'll get Svea ready to go out in her pool for 1/2 to 45 minutes.  She loves the pool!!!

4:00-4:30-Time  to eat again!  Svea gets cereal, veggies, a little meat, and fruit topped off with a few puffs while I clean up the kitchen.

4:30-6:00-Svea goes down for a nap for approximately 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

6:00-Milk Break!  We then go for a walk with the Riker!

7:00-We might Skype with one of the Grandparents and then take a bath and get ready for bed. 

8:00-8:30-Time for bedtime milk break, books, cuddle time, prayers, and bed!

8:30-11:00-Mommy time before bed:)
