So we took a roadtrip to SC & FL in the beginning of July & we ended the month in a chill-at-home fashion, even for Eric's 30th Birthday! (and also the anniversary of our engagement which I just remembered). Any way - us hopeless romantics didn't do anything out of the ordinary. Mr Smith apparently hates birthdays, ha. He did let me come up to tour his new office & show off Lexi & take him to lunch at Fatz. It was definitely good & Lexi was pretty calm the whole time. She actually finished a bottle & passed out in a quick stroll around this park where he works. It was lovely - I hate that it is just too far to visit often. I thought about making Key Lime Pie and asked him about it but he said "remember what happened last time?" Unfortunately I do (too tart) & since he is hard to please when it comes to Key Lime Pies (or everything) & I don't like them, we settled for . . . I think nothing. He didn't want to waste candles. I just left a candy jar filled with mints on his desk & some beef jerky. Go me. Enchiladas were for dinner since he always requests those. I only took pictures on my phone this day because I'm that awesome. I still don't know how to get the pictures off my phone. Again, I'm awesome.
For my birthday, I definitely want a cake. But I don't care about candles either. I just like cake. We're so pathetic we couldn't even remember what we did, if anything, for my 25th birthday. who-are-we. Good thing I blogged. (Lori took me to Firehouse & Eric brought me a shake from Cook-Out) haha.
I think I'll try harder for Lexi's birthdays... & by harder I mean we'll have cupcakes.
So moving on from birthdays...
I thought I'd lay down a little schedule from a day in our life...
1:30 AM - 8 minute feed
4:30 AM - 5 minute feed
6:30 AM- feed, diaper change & a 30 minute smiling session
7 AM - dad leaves for work, back to sleep
9 AM - good morning, diaper change & feed
We change into our first outfit. We watch mom get ready. We laugh & talk. We go eat breakfast. Do any leftover dishes & any other quick chores.
11:30 AM - we feed & mom rocks me until I'm really tired
1 PM - feed (new outfit usually) & go run errands or go to the park
3:30 PM - feed & play & read
4:30 PM - nap time
5:30 PM - mom starts making dinner
6 PM - Lexi wakes & feed
6:30 PM- Daddy comes home & we eat dinner & play
7:45 - 8:15 PM - Lexi's power nap
8:30 - Lexi feeds again
9 PM - bath time then final feed
9:30 bedtime
Of course these are rough estimates. Occasionally she'll sleep longer than four hours. And these days she has been known to feed at 9 AM then sleep in till 10:30! Her naps during the afternoon can be hard to predict but bedtime/waketime is pretty consistent. And that's all for my personal records.
Along with pjs, she may have 2 outfits and 3-4 bibs in a day. She is in 3-6 size but is wearing some 6 & 9 month stuff too. Probably 6 diaper changes, average of 1 poop diaper. She moved up to a size 2 early this month, so at about 2 months. Aren't these great facts? She now enjoys to sleep spread eagle at night and is in her pack n play. She is even getting better at putting herself to sleep at bedtime, but for naps I either rock her & lay her down hoping she doesn't wake or the swing sometimes does the trick. She prefers the body carrier over the car seat when shopping and will fall asleep in that too. She can only handle the car seat awake for maybe 20 minutes, so lengthy rides only work if it puts her to sleep. She still loves her bath & just enjoys the world around her & wants to see it. She likes to stand a lot & is getting better at sitting with some support. She giggles and smiles and babbles. She loves being used as a push up. She enjoys sitting in her bumpo when I am doing the dishes or making dinner so that's convenient. She also enjoys about 20 minutes under he playmat at a time, which is when I take my shower. She comes at you mouth wide wanting to lick and chew on everything including her fingers. She has been playing with toys for a few weeks but is just starting to reach out for things.
And that is the 3 month wrap.
