A {Good} Day in the Life

Here is a pretty typical day for me and little Dean. (Most of the pictures are from one day, but there's a few of other days.)

We wake up, usually between 7 and 7:30, and I eat breakfast and then feed Dean, and we get ready to go on a run. Dean wears his pajamas.

He's always really good on our run. I think he likes being outside. The only issue is that sometimes he falls asleep on the run and then he doesn't transfer very well to his pack and play. So on days when he stays awake, which really is most of the time, I'm always excited. (horrible pic of me, but we took it just to show dad how he stayed awake!)

When we get home I put him down for a nap and shower. When he wakes up, it's time to get dressed and eat some solids! Sometimes it goes like this:

And sometimes it goes like this:

He sure loves playing with his spoon! Then it's tummy time time. The pediatrician says to do 5 minutes 5 times a day since he still hates it. I set a timer and he can't get up until at least 5 minutes. Sometimes he can go longer. His record is 30 minutes. And sometimes he starts crying the second I put him down. Usually he lasts about 3-4 minutes before he gets too fussy. I pretty much always have to sit right next to him bouncing toys in his face. I won't post a pic of every time we did tummy time that day. We did this round in front of the mirror.

Then we did some fun playing in the door jumper.

And then we practice sitting.

In this video, it looks like his head is totally bouncing out of control. Rest assured my feet were right behind his head and I really wasn't bouncing him that hard. But isn't his laugh just so cute?!

Umm...How do I get a video to show up on here?!?!?!

Another nap time while I read scriptures and get some stuff done. When Dean wakes up, I feed him and we do some other things. He really likes this jumparoo we got from Stacy.

Dean practiced sitting some more while I read my book aloud to him.

Another little nap while I make dinner. The day always ends for Dean with a bath, lotion time, and one last bottle. He sure looks sweet when he's sleeping. And he LOVES his bath!
