A Day in the Life of Tommy V

I thought we would give everyone a rundown of a normal day in Thomas' life. He wakes up ready to eat usually between 5:30am and 6:30am. We bring him into our room and he lays on my lap on the boppy. I sleep while he eats. He usually is finished and awake by 7:30am. I put him back in his crib, give him a couple of toys and turn on the mobile.

I either go lay back down or wash my face and get dressed while listening to him play over the monitor. He usually plays by himself and is content until about 8:00am.

Then we go get him out of the crib and Mable usually says her good mornings, which usually consist of a nice sloppy kiss!

Thomas gets dressed and ready for the day!

We go downstairs and Thomas plays while Mom eats her breakfast.
After my breakfast we play some more, usually on the floor. Between 9:30am and 10:00am Thomas has a bottle and goes down for his morning nap. He will nap anywhere from 40 minutes to (on a VERY GOOD DAY) 1.5 hours. When he wakes up we give him a couple of toys and let him play in his crib for a few minutes. Then we go downstairs to play for a while before lunch. If it is warm enough outside we take Mable on a walk.

He eats lunch around 1:00pm. Yesterday was the second day of trying peas.

He does NOT like peas!

He eats his lunch and then drinks (by drinks I mean plays with) his water and then we get cleaned up.
On Tuesdays we go to our Mom/Baby Connection group. Other days at this time we may run errands. Yesterday we went to the grocery store and today we might be going to the library. Soon we will start going to the library at 1:00pm on Wed. for story time!

If we don't have any errands to run we play or he plays while I wash dishes/bottles. He takes another bottle between 3:00pm and 3:30pm and goes down for another nap.

We play again after he wakes up and wait for Dad to get off of work.

Dad comes down and plays when he gets done with work...this might be Thomas' favorite time of day!

Yesterday they played video games together!

If it is warm enough at 5pm we all go on a walk together!

Thomas' bedtime routine starts at 7:15pm if he is getting a bath, if not then it starts at 7:30pm. We take him upstairs and get him dressed, then read him a couple of books. The person who is not reading lays on the floor and pets Mable! He gets his bottle after story time and then goes to bed soon after, usually by 8:00pm.
