We have gotten quite a good routine here at home she and I. She will be 4 months old tomorrow and I thought it would be fun to write about a normal day at home.
Morning starts between 08.00 and 09.00 and I wake up when she starts talking and singing and testing her voice in different ways. We go up, I get dressed first, then i take her to the nursery table in the bathroom to change diaper and get her dressed. I take her out to the kitchen where she sits in a baby sitter while I make breakfast for myself and start the dishwasher. We then go to the livingroom and I put her down on the floor in the baby gym while I eat my breakfast and watch something on tv. After a while she gets bored with the gym, so I pick her up and put her on my lap and play little games with her. Then she gets a little sad, this is somewhere between 10.00 and 11.00 depending on when she woke up. So I change her diaper if it's needed, take her to our bed, breastfeed her, and then she sleeps.
She usually sleeps for an hour, an hour and a half, but she will only sleep if I am next to her in the bed, so I am really glad I have the iPad... But sometimes I sleep too hehe. Anyway, then it's time to wake up and I take her back to the kitchen, to make lunch for myself, then back to the livingroom and put her in the baby gym while I eat lunch and watch something on tv, then she gets bored again and I pick her up, play little games until she is tired again, I go change the diaper and put her om the bed for food, and sleep again, this is about 3 hours after the last feeding so perhaps 14.00.
And after an hour she wakes up, then I usually put her in the baby gym again and sometimes tidy up a bit in the livingroom or I bring the baby gym to the computer room so I can do my farmville for a little hehe. Sometimes I let her stay on our bed and start fixing the laundry, or take her to the kitchen while I clean there. Then time to play a little again when she gets bored to be all by herself. And then time for diaper change, eat and sleep, this would be around 17.00.
When she wakes up around 18.00 I take her to the kitchen to make dinner, or if Toine is home now, he will take her. If he is not home he will take her as soon as he comes home! So when dinner is ready, she gets to play in the babygym again while we eat, and then she gets bored so she gets to sit with her daddy (Toine). About 20.00 she starts to get sad again. So we make her ready for the night. Change the diaper. Put on her sleeping dress which is like a little bag with arms, and an opening for the head of course, you can open and close by the feet to easily change the diaper at night if needed. I put her on our bed, breastfeed her, and she sleeps.
This time I am able to leave the bed without waking her, so now we have some free time together me and Toine. Then before Toine goes to bed (like 23.30 or so, way too late for him hehe) she usually wakes up for food again. But sometimes I wake her up. So she eats, and goes back to sleep, and I carry her over to her own bed.
Sometimes she wakes up again at 02.00 but not often. Most of the time she wakes up for food around 05.00, sometimes 06.00 and then Toine goes to work so when she wakes up I put her in our bed again abd she sleeps again. If ahe wakes up at 05.00 she also wants a little breakfast at 07.00 and sleeps a little more after that, and then at 08.00 - 09.00 the whole procedure starts over again!
Some days we go for a walk, and some days we go to the open pre school. Sometimes we go shopping, but all in all, this schedual works perfect.
