Getting in the groove...

Well, as we are nearing the three month mark since Christian's arrival, I feel like things are finally starting to hit a groove of sorts. Christian is starting to settle into a decent schedule, and I am finally learning how to get things accomplished during the day! Take today for example: (I feel very accomplished!)

1. Woke up at 6:45 to feed Christian (he did get up one other time during the night, but no big deal...I think we're in a growth spurt of sorts)

2. Went back to sleep (ahhh) and then woke up again at 8:45 (Yay for morning naps!) Then, another "breakfast" for Christian.

3. Shower at 9:00-YAY for getting this accomplished before lunchtime!

4. 9:45--Auntie Em came over to watch Christian while I went to LU to meet with my old boss to go over my consulting work.

5. 11:45--head home from LU to go kiss my sweet boy's cute little cheeks!

6. 12:30--feed Christian, and play on the floor... he was 'practicing' rolling over...he's soooo close!

7. 1:15--Christian goes down for a nap in his swing. (not the original intent for the swing, but that's what happened!haha)

8. 1:20-2:45 (Yep, you read that right!)--CLEAN the house: vacuum all the floors, mop the kitchen floor, do the dishes, reorganize the dining room contents including taking the leaf out of the dining room table and rearranging the furniture, then get some lunch!

9. 2:45--Get Christian up, changed, and fed.

10. 3:15-4:30--Play with Christian and catch up on work emails.

11. 4:30--Christian falls asleep in his bouncy seat after a hard round of giggling with Mommy.

12. 5:15--Christian wakes up and eats AGAIN haha

13. 5:30--Started dinner (With Christian's help sitting from his bouncy seat) We made honey barbeque chicken, lemon poppyseed muffins, baked potatoes, and salad! yuuuummmm.

14. 6:15--Daddy comes home!! (Christian was allll smiles!)

15. 7:30--Feed Christian

16. 8:00-10:00--Play with Christian while watching Biggest Loser (Mommy and Daddy watched, not Christian)

17. 10:15--BATHTIME!! Christian had fun playing in the bubbles.

18. 10:45--Feed Christian, swaddle him, and down for the night in the crib.

19. 11:15--Have a bowl of cereal (yum) and hang out with my hubby!

20. 12:08--sit down and write this blog!

Phew!! What a day, but yay! I got a lot accomplished! (I know, not many other people would think it was an exciting day, but I think my life is pretty fantastic!) Here's some more pics to enjoy!
