My mornings usually go like this*: Raelan wakes up too early for my taste (this is usually the 3rd time we've been up since bedtime). I feed her, change her, and she typically goes back to sleep. We sleep in like teenagers and then I feed her and change her again. She spends some time awake and -gasp- HAPPY! This is my favorite time of the day. She looks around, makes funny faces, and coos. I've started getting smiles at this time too. Then I watch as her legs start to cycle. This means we have minutes, or perhaps seconds, until she is no longer happy. The fussing begins and on goes Pandora (the Ingrid Michaelson station is best for these times). I bounce her, rock her, and sometimes dance around the kitchen with her. When she finally falls asleep I decide whether I will eat breakfast, clean the kitchen, OR take a shower. Since I'm not one to sacrifice food or hygiene, I will typically shovel cereal into my mouth while I prep the shower. The kitchen isn't that messy, right? Today I am shoveling cereal into my mouth while blogging. The ticking time bomb of baby cries is sleeping like a little angel and I forget every time how frustrating the fussiness can be. I also forget how fast nap time flies. This is why I must bid you ado... for hygiene's sake. Thanks for sharing in our morning routine. If you ever want to come make me breakfast, or rock my baby while I shower, be my guest. :)
*all routines are subject to change at any given moment, usually when you are relying on them the most and definitely when you are just getting used to them.
Happy weekend! I love weekends because I see more of Ammon, and I get to leave the house (which is rare during the week) to go to church. You?
