Starting a Routine

Aaden is on a wonderful routine. Honestly, since he was about 1 month old he has always fallen into the "perfect" routine (it was perfect for us). He took 3 naps a day, ate and played in between, as he has gotten older he is down to 1 nap (or quiet time as he is starting to outgrow the actual sleep part). He is very predictable.

Connor isnt as good at this, and maybe it's because life is so different with a toddler in the house. Connor cluster feeds throughout the morning and the night some days and some days he nurses as he should, plays for a short time, and takes his nap. I'm really trying to get him on a nice routine that will allow me some down time from both kids at the same time (HA I know, good luck). So this morning I woke him up at 8:00, nursed him, changed his diaper, he played (okay, playing at 3 months old is more like coo-ing and looking around) in his bouncy seat, at 9:30 he was getting sleepy so I put him in his swing and walked away, he cried for about 2 minutes and was out cold until about 11:30ish (even with his brother playing pirates beside him). I was able to get some laundry done, clip some coupons, and eat breakfast. He then ate, diaper change, played (this time he jumped in his jumper while watching Aaden play Transformers, we read a couple books *after Aaden laid down at 1*), at this point Connor needed another diaper change then he was getting sleepy so I laid him down in his crib. He only cried for less than 5 minutes and he is sleeping peacefully (this is the first time he is sleeping in his crib!!! YAY!!) I know, don't get my hopes up but I'm soo excited. Okay, time to take a shower before its time to get Aaden up.

Have a great day everyone!!

With Love,
