2am: Wake up for my first nighttime feeding. Mom takes me out of the bassinet, where I sleep right next to her, and starts to feed me. She's so fast at responding to my need for food, I don't even have a chance to cry! I usually fall asleep by the end of the meal, and don't notice when mom changes my diaper and puts me back in my bed.
5am: Repeat of the 2am feeding.
6:30am: Daddy time! Dad takes me into the living room to hang out a bit while Mommy gets a little more sleep. I'm usually half asleep myself, but love cuddling with Daddy. You know I'm happy when I make little cooing sounds!
8am: Breakfast!! Today, mommy explained to me where the word "Breakfast" comes from. But she couldn't really explain the origin of lunch or dinner, can anyone help her out?
8:30 - 10:30am: I had a long stretch of awake time this morning. I started the day with a Skype to Gramma and Grandpa - I showed off my new tummy time skills by turning my head a few times! I'm also starting to reach for the toys on my playmat, like the cute owl that flies above my head. Then I cuddled with mom for a while, before falling asleep for a morning nap.
11am: Early Lunch! Yum, the milk tastes like cereal and strawberries today!
11:30am - 12:30pm: More awake time! This time, mommy and I sang Neko Case songs in my rocker for a while. I love listening to music, it really soothes me.
12:30 - 1:30pm: I feel asleep in my vibrating chair - buzzzzzzzz
1:30pm: Late Lunch! Today's special was a turkey sandwich.
2:00 - 3:00pm: Mommy and I were going to go for a walk, but it was just so hot outside. We sat out on the deck for a few minutes though, does that count as "getting out of the house"?
3:00 - 4:00pm: We decided to take a nap this afternoon, at first I was going to sleep in my bassinet next to mom's bed, but I needed a little something to help me fall asleep. So instead, we tried my crib for the first time! I loved watching the mobile, that helped me fall into a deep sleep. Mommy only managed to get a few minutes of sleep before I woke up again, but she says it felt good!
4:00pm - Afternoon snack!
4:45pm - Back to sleep! What can I say, I get sleepy in the afternoons. Plus, I have to save up my energy for my daddy time this evening!
7:45pm - Wow, I slept a lot this evening! Mommy's friend Katie came over and brought me a cute onesie from Tadpole, I love that store! Katie held me for a while, but I pretty much slept the whole time. When I finally woke up, I was starving - dinner time!
8:30pm - After a yummy dinner, I fell back asleep in Daddy's lap. He put me in a tight swaddle, and I was out like a light! I'll probably sleep for another few hours, then its time for dessert and more sleeping. It's tough being a 3-week old!!
