Surprise! Out little lady just keeps on growing.
Another month has passed once again and as we inch closer to the one year mark I can't help but marvel at the precious little girl our baby is becoming.
After nine months of attempting a schedule, traveling, attempting a new schedule, more traveling, and finally ditching the idea of a schedule; we are now on somewhat of a schedule! Funny how that works, huh?
We usually wake up sometime between 7 and 8 am, although Stella does enjoy the occasional early morning
We go downstairs and eat breakfast
We play a little
Baby watches a show and jumps in her jump-a-roo while Mom gets ready
We drink a bottle
We take a nap (well baby takes a nap and Mom attempts to clean the house, pay the bills, or simply wastes time on the computer)
We play or run errands
We eat something
We drink a bottle
We attempt a second nap
We play, eat something, and make dinner for Dad
We jump for joy and clap our hands, because Dad is finally home
We try and keep the baby occupied long enough for Mom and Dad to eat
We play a little more
We take a bath
We eat oatmeal and drink a bottle and then...
We go to sleep! Usually bedtime happens sometime between 8 and 8:30
As monotonous as it sounds like this could be, it is amazing how different each day is. Some are good and some are bad. Some pass too quickly and others can't end soon enough.
But somehow at the end of each day when I go check on my sleeping angel before finally crawling into bed myself, I love her more than I did when we woke up that morning and I can't wait to see what tomorrow brings.

What a cute baby you have. :) I am glad we were able to come see you guys and let Trey and Stella play together. Hopefully they will grow up and be good friends!

Her hair is growing in so cute, my family just gets mullets so I am so happy for her and you that she's coming in with some on top. Just adorable!
She is precious! and growing so fast. I know what you mean about the routine. Some days are so long and others pass so fast, and your heart just keeps swelling with love for that baby.
