Our Routine

MM is a pretty scheduled baby…but not due to me.  In fact, I was one of those mothers who believed that she could go to bed, get up, eat, etc. whenever she wanted.  But MM had other plans, of course.Since about two months she has put herself on quite a strict schedule.  No matter where we are she adheres to said schedule.  It goes a little something like this:  between 7:15 – 7:30 she’ll wake up (it’s always in this fifteen minute block–like she has a baby alarm clock or something), exactly one hour she’ll eat a 5 oz bottle, play in her playroom, eat breakfast (usually oatmeal, yogurt, and a fruit), and watch some Noggin.  Then she’ll take a one hour nap.  She also takes an late morning/early afternoon and a late afternoon nap.  At 6:30pm she’ll have 4 oz bottle, at 7 she’ll eat dinner, at 7:30 she’ll get her bath, at 7:45 she’ll have more of her bottle, and by 8 o’clock on the dot she’s asleep.And even though I was against schedules, I must admit I enjoy knowing when she’ll wake up, or need a nap, or need to go to bed.  As I type this she is laying in her bean bag (her newest toy from her grandparents that she absolutely loves) and watching Little Bear.  She has stopped cooing at the TV so I bet she’s asleep.Guess it’s time for that one hour nap.
