Our typical day at 7 months...

Depending on what my workout at the YMCA will be we usually get up at around 7:30. We play for a little while (oh yeah, first daddy always changes your morning diaper). If I am taking a 9:30 class at the Y we will have breakfast around 8. Lately you have been having oatmeal and apples or some other type of fruit. We got to the Y where Maria and Francis take very good care of you. Now that you crawl and sit up there is more for you to do there and now you are playing with the other kids too (and also catching their colds :))

After the Y we come home and usually have lunch. Sometimes you have food and sometimes you just nurse. Today after lunch we played for a while. Either we play in my room where we have a portable play yard that takes up most of the floor. You always like to be alternating and playing with two things at once. You have your piano that plays a few tunes and a doggy xylophone. We also have these rubber blocks that I stack up and you knock down. I also just put together a bunch of random things like a measuring cup, purple rubber spatula and a rubbermaid bowl. We also play in the office where we have your activity mat (which you are almost grown out of) and Ethan's programmable piano (a real one). Also a toy that you can sit on and press buttons that makes music. You definitely like music!

After playing today we went next door into Jim and Marie's pool. You love swimming. The Trolice's got you this great floaty device with an awning to protect you from the sun. We have pictures of it.

After the pool I rinsed you off in your tub...you had some bottle and then slept for 2 hours...yeah. Then we played some more until Daddy got home.

Other times we go on an errand in the afternoon. Maybe to babies r us or Publix. You love going to publix. All the old people love to smile at you and you give them a big beautiful smile right back...it is so sweet. You also love to look at the balloons all around.

Basically I spend a bunch of time watching you play and interact. I feel like I am watching a miracle everyday. I watch you learn and explore. I can just sit and watch you for hours and love every second of it!
