A day in the life…
Grabbed this from Adrienne:
My day in ‘great detail’
6:30-7am – Marco wakes up. Tim feeds Marco, and plays with him before getting ready for work. Marco usually goes down for a nap around 8am.
8:30am – I wake up, eat some whole-wheat toast or a bowl of cereal, check emails, and read.
10am – Marco eats his 2nd breakfast, and then we cuddle and play. I take many pictures of him, either with my camera or my iPhone – whatever is handy.

12pm – Marco usually gets tired around this time, so he’ll go down for a nap. Most days it’s an hour or hour and a half, but occasionally it’s only 45 minutes.
1:30pm – Marco has lunch, and we play. Sometimes we’ll run errands (today, we went to get my car washed, and then to Starbucks for a non-fat caramel macchiato).
3 – 3:30pm – Marco gets sleepy again, so he goes down for a nap. I’ll read, blog, clean… whatever needs to be done. He’ll sleep until his next feeding.
5pm - Marco’s dinner, and then more playtime with me. Tim comes home around 6:30, and he plays with Marco while I relax.
Sometimes Marco goes down for a nap between this feeding and the 8:30 feeding, but usually he will be awake until then. Tim and I will eat dinner, read, and watch movies or television. Lately, it’s been lots of ‘Dexter’.
8:30pm – Marco has his last feeding of the day, and we get him in his pajamas, feed him, and put him directly to bed. He falls asleep around 9pm, and sleeps until the next morning; at least, he has for the past 4 days!
Tim and I continue to relax together, and head to bed around 10:30pm. I read until 11.
My days are definitely planned around Marco, but with the parenting strategy we’ve chosen to adopt, there’s plenty of wiggle-room.
I don’t always have time to relax, but it generally works out.
I certainly have more time than I thought I would!




I haven’t read your blog in a while so I’m getting all my comments in now so….
How do you get that child to sleep so much. He has turned into the perfect little baby. I’m jealous. Enjoy this time now as they get older and mobile they sleep less and there is less downtime. Keep the pictures coming. Marco is so stinking cute!
