Everyday life.

Today was the first day daddy went back to work since Little Dude was born. I wanted to document this day for our memories and give you a sample of our everyday life...


*I didn't get any pictures of our morning, daddy doesn't usually go to work until the afternoon, so I started documenting after he had gone in.


At around 7 am Little Lady wakes up and while he's been off, daddy gets up with her while I am usually nursing Little Dude. Then we go downstairs and join them for breakfast.

Little Lady still likes to have a bottle of warm milk when she first wakes up. {We are working on weaning from this but didn't want to rock her world too much with all the new changes she's dealing with.} She also has yogurt and a banana, sometimes oatmeal or pancakes/waffles. She's a good great eater!

After breakfast is play time! Little Lady likes to go through her toy box and inventory her goods. :) This particular morning daddy took Little Dude to the lab at the hospital to have his second blood draw for his genetic testing. While the boys were gone, us girls watched a Veggie Tales video and snuggled.

When daddy and Little Dude got home it was lunch time! After lunch was served daddy put Little Lady down for a nap. That was around noon. Then it was time for daddy to get ready for work...

Little Lady took a little less than a two hour nap. While Little Lady napped, Little Dude was quite the busy man.

When he's not sleeping, this is pretty much what he can be found doing.

Once Little Lady woke up from her nap, we made plans to go to the park and enjoy some fresh air and the semi-warm weather while we have it! But not before a yummy snack...

Gold fishes and a granola bar.

Little Lady LOVES going to the park {what kid doesn't!} and even starts getting excited and pointing to the equipment when we pull into the parking lot.

She is getting more and more confident on the equipment every time we go!

She even goes down the slide, by herself, with out any coaxing!

Little Dude snuggled with mama while big sister had her fun. :)

After the park, it was time to head home and start getting ready for dinner. Daddy usually gets to join us for dinner and we love that we get to see him half way through his day! Today, while mama got dinner ready, Little Lady played with the homemade, pumpkin-spice-smelling, orange play dough mama made her...

*All I have is Christmas cookie cutters, don't judge!

After dinner, which was leftover burritos and daddy's green chili {yummy!}, Little Lady decided to go through the mail. And she got a little bit on the silly while she was at it...

Before we knew it, it was time for a bubble bath and bed time! 

Bed time will probably be my hardest part of the day usually. Maybe we will figure out a routine that helps us out. Tonight was pretty smooth I must say, although I don't anticipate that to be the case every night. With Daddy at work I am juggling two littles who need my full attention. I did think ahead and nurse Little Dude before I even put Little Lady in the tub, that way I knew he wouldn't be screaming for while she was doing her thing. I think we will continue that and hope that we have more easy nights than the rough kind.

And that is a typical day in the life of our Littles! Good night. :)
