One of the message boards I read was having its members do a "Day in the life" posting, and I thought it looked fun!! So if you're wondering what life is like with an 11 month old, here's a day in the life of Luke!
Our day started around 8:45, when my little man woke up! He usually sleeps all night but occasionally wakes up needing a little mommy snuggle time, which happened at 12:30 that night. A couple of minutes of rocking and he was back to bed :) When he wakes up he's all smiles!
Then it was time to get a diaper change and get dressed!
After that he nursed and then we fed the dogs and had play time! It was also time for me to eat breakfast!
After some play time, it was time for breakfast! He ate cheerios with milk, like a big kid, and loved it!
After breakfast it was time to play some more! We usually play downstairs and he roams all over! Luke loves his Stride-to-ride lion walker!
Then it was time to load up and head to the park to go running!
We made it to the park and I opened the back of the car, only to find that I had forgotten the jogging stroller! I swear it was the first time I have done this! So back home we go (luckily it is only a 5 minute drive home!). We ran around the neighborhood instead.
Here's Luke ready to go on the run!
And here's Luke after the run...
We came inside and then it was shower time for mommy and Baby Einstein watching time for Luke!
Luke loves Baby Einstein!
Then it was lunch time! Today was yogurt and bananas!
Then we played some more and attempted reading time...it's not always easy to get him to stay still long enough to look at anything! This was one of those times.
Before nap time I folded laundry and Luke wanted to help...make it more difficult that is! He likes to rearrange the baskets and undo the folding!
Next it was time for a nap! He nursed then fell asleep a couple of minutes after being laid down. We are in a transition time between 1 and 2 naps. Some days he gets 2, especially if he wakes up early. Other days it's just one. I counted the nap in the stroller as his first nap, and this was his second. He went down right at 3pm.
I love video monitors! I don't know what I would do without mine!
He slept until 5:20 and then woke up ready to play some more, so we headed outside!
He does such a funny crawl when he doesn't want his knees to touch!
After some play time, it was time for dinner, and little man was hungry! The menu for tonight was grilled cheese, his favorite! In this picture he was yelling because I was waiting for it to cool and he was hungry!!
After dinner came bath time. Sometimes bath time is fun and sometimes it's not! He doesn't always love it- in fact he hates having his hair washed! Today was a good time, he was splashing and playing and having a blast!
The next part of our bedtime routine is reading time! He loves his animal book so we always do that one, plus one or two others. I love it when Kevin reads to him because his "commentary" on the animals is funny. Plus I think Luke likes listening to him more!! Here's Luke ready to read!
And finally bedtime! After nursing, rocking, and a lullaby (I Will by the Beatles), we lay him down and say goodnight! He plays anywhere from 10-30 minutes and goes to sleep on his own. This night it was about 30 minutes :), he fell asleep by around 8:30.
And that was our day! It isn't very exciting but I love it anyway!
I love that kid!!!
