Back in August, I did a "day in the life" post for Barrett's 6 month birthday (see here). I loved photo-journaling his typical day, but what I love even more is looking back on it now that he is a year old. It's so fun to look back and see how we spent our days together 6 months ago and compare to our days now. I know I'll love looking back on that one, as well as his "day in the life" for his 1 year too! This past year has been so fun and I am so thankful to have had him by our side :)
Good Morning!
Barrett wakes up around 6 am, I feed him, and he goes right back to bed until about 8/830 am. He wakes up so happy and chatty.
Once we walk in he has a huge smile, we bend down to give him a hug, and he proceeds to point at everything in his room and says "oh!" and then "dog" while looking out in the hallway for Jax. He asks for him right away in the morning.
Playtime
We usually read books and play with toys in his room or downstairs before breakfast. He loves "The Best Mouse Cookie", "I Love You Through and Through", "Goodnight Moon", "Curious George at the Zoo", "Mickey's Mealtime", "Brown Bear, Brown Bear", and anything with a cow in it (which he then proceeds to say "COW" throughout the whole book).
Breakfast
This kid can put away some food. Breakfast faves include: eggs, waffles, blueberries, and yogurt.
A little more playtime before nap #1 (and hugs if I'm lucky :) )
He usually sees Dada for a bit before he leaves for work.
Naptime
First nap is usually a good one (1.5-2 hrs). Blankie, bear, paci, and a little cuddling and he's out.
Lunch
Errands
Costco and Target are our most visited spots
I always have to have Cheerios on hand in case he decides he's done shopping.
Playtime
Now that he's been outside a few times, he's obsessed with going out. He walks to the door and waves "bye-bye". It'd be a lot more fun if he didn't try to run (walking is for slowpokes apparently) straight down the sloped driveway to the street haha.
Eat, Naptime #2, and then some Cheerio snack time
Barrett loves Cheerios, and so does Jax. This presents a confusing snack time of who gets the Cheerios :).
Make messes all over the house
Dinner
Bath
Bear loves bath time! His favorite bath toys are cups and I spend the majority of the bath reminding him not to drink the bathwater out of those cups.
Get ready for bed
Lotion, pjs, feeding, stories. He loves helping with the humidifier-he holds the top part while I refill it :). We cuddle, rock, sing and he usually lays and looks up at the projector thingy on the celling and rolls over to his side to fall asleep. Usually is asleep by 845/9 pm and sleeping straight until he wakes at 6am.
These are the days :)
