Week in the Life- Sunday when Lily is 6 Months old

Sunday, November 20, 2011

5am-ish- Lily wakes up and cries for a few minutes before falling back to sleep.

6:45am- Lily wakes up happily chatting in her crib.

7a- "Officially" wake up Lily which means her morning routine begins.  Gave her a bottle and she drank 4oz. We got Lily ready for church and headed out the door around 8:45am.

9:05am- Our church is celebrating its 25th Anniversary....

 

...as part of the celebration, people wrote notes of gratitude and thanks for all God has done in their lives through the church....

10:20am- We picked up Lily from Sunday School.  It makes our hearts feel so comfortable knowing she is in such good hands.  Our pal Tami is one of her "teachers"...

10:40am: Arrive home from church.  With no morning nap on Sundays, Lily always crashes out literally minutes after leaving the parking lot of church.  She seems to be dreaming about something serious here....

10:55am- My aunt Boo and my cousin Leah (forgot to document them!) arrive to help take care of Lily while we go to a surprise birthday lunch for a good friend.  These are the instructions for them in regards to taking care of our little gal while we are gone...

noon- Surprise birthday lunch for our friend, Michelle.  A bunch of us were waiting for her at a local eatery and she was very surprised! It was a great time and a complete success! (Not to mention delicious!)

2:05pm- After lunch, we went to the Gap to find Lily a new winter coat.  It was supposed to get rather chilly soon and Lily still did not have a winter coat, so we headed off to find her one and afterwards we stopped and got ourselves a delicious warm beverage...

2:30p- back home...

2:45pm- Lily woke up from her nap and tried on her new puffy pink coat and new bunny hat.  She really liked them and looked soooo cute in them we could hardly bring ourselves to take them off her even though we were planning on being indoors for the remainder of the day!

3:30p- Lily did a lot of playing while I did some mommy research about why she doesn't seem to be drinking all of her bottles all of the sudden...

3:50pm- Joe went to grocery store

glimpses of playtime with our sweet bunny...

4:45p- dinner time for Lily- pears and peas tonight...she is a great eater!

5:15p- after finishing dinner, Lily plays with Dad some more...

...while I work on making her some more food.  Above is a photo of me grinding up some grains to make her porridge and below is a photo of some squash cooking before being pureed...

5:35- bath time!  Lily loves her baths now.  She enjoys splashing and playing with her buddies...

....these guys are her pals and always keep her company while she bathes...

...our self portrait for the day...

5:50pm- her final bottle for the day..she drank 5oz...

5:56pm- Ready to go to bed...she is a great sleeper and goes to bed listening to her "rain" (on the ipod) and is usually sound asleep without a peep long before the song is over. 

6:05pm- I begin making dinner for us...

7:45- Dinner is finally all ready to be eaten! Yummy Chicken Tetrazini!

8:15pm- We cleaned up the dinner dishes together  and I worked on making my 'to-do' list for the week.  I always like to have that done before Monday starts so I feel like I am ready to tackle the week ahead and this week is going to be a busy one with Thanksgiving on Thursday!  Can't wait!

9:05- I did some light reading...  :)

9:30- We got into bed and continued watching this zany comedy on Netflix.  We are both huge Will Arnett fans.  We were both exhausted!

Thoughts for the Day:

Feel fortunate to have good friends and family to help watch Lily

Love having a cozy warm house on a cold wintery day

Feel like I have a lot to do this week to get ready for Thanksgiving

Worried about Lily not eating very well- is something wrong? 

Love, Love, Love the little coat and hat we found for her- feel confident she will be warm this winter

Surprise parties are so much fun
