A Day in the Life of Ethan

7:45     Ethan starts babbling in his room.  Mommy hears him over the monitor and decides it is time to start the morning coffee.

8:10     Ethan's babbling turns into little cries so Mommy goes in.  We are usually greeted by this little face each day.  Ethan gets out of his crib, gets a few snuggles, then gets his diaper changed.

8:15     Mommy feeds Ethan

8:30     Playtime downstairs where Ethan plays with his toys and practices rolling around the room.

9:30     Breakfast time!  On today's menu is pureed pears mixed into baby oatmeal.

10:00     Playtime in Ethan's room.  We read books, play with the dogs, play with even more toys, and attempt to eat Mommy's camera.

10:20     Diaper change

10:35     Ethan's rubbing his eyes and nose and is starting to get whiny.  It must be close to nap time.  Mommy feeds Ethan and into the crib he goes for a nap.

12:30     Ethan babbles to himself in the crib.  Those babbles turn into whiny cries so Mommy goes in to rescue him :)

(LOL, do you see that look?!)

12:30     Diaper change followed by a Mommy climbing session on the floor.

12:45     Lunch.  Today we're serving mashed avocado and banana in the mesh feeder.

1:30     More play time in the living room.  It's raining today so we're a bit limited on what we can do.

2:00     Diaper change and time to eat again.  Afterward we play some more in Ethan's room and in Mommy and Daddy's room for a change of scenery.  He rolls around on the bed, plays with Maggie, helps Mommy with laundry, and rolls around the room checking things out.  Ethan even plays on the computer for a bit before returning downstairs to hang out.

3:45     Time for a diaper change, a feeding, and a LONG awaited nap for both Ethan and myself.

5:15     Ethan wakes up from his nap and gets a diaper change.

5:30     We leave the house to meet Daddy at work.  While waiting for Daddy, Ethan decides it would be an excellent time for another diaper change.

6:00     Daddy  is off work and we eat dinner at Ruby Tuesdays.  Ethan eats a jar of sweet potatoes and a few shredded carrots from the salad bar.  We quickly learned that Ethan was saving the carrots along the pockets of his cheeks for a rainy day.

(Hmmm, I think I'll order the fillet Mignon, please.)

7:30     Ethan cries the entire way home from dinner so we skip taking a bath tonight and get changed into pajamas.

(I'm not sure why the picture keeps turning this way but you get the point by looking at the pitiful little face he's making!)

7:50     Ethan falls asleep while nursing.

8:15     Ethan decides he's not tired enough to go to sleep just yet so Daddy gives him a bath.  Ethan is all smiles now :)

9:00     We all play on Ethan's bedroom floor and read books until Ethan shows he's tired and ready for bed.
