Noah has finally learned somewhat of a schedule. I say somewhat, because it can still definitely change, but in a nutshell this is our day:
8am - wake up. Well, Noah sometimes wakes up a bit earlier, but Mom doesn't. Dad watches him until Mom gets up at 8 and is willing to feed the poor little guy. :) Eats for half an hour or so, then plays on the floor, watching the Today Show (against my better judgement, but I gotta eat breakfast too!) for however long it takes Mom to eat. Then plays with mom. Play = goo and gaa on the floor for a while.
9:30am - goes down for morning nap. No joke, no matter what time he eats, he goes back to sleep exactly an hour and a half later. It's bliss! Sleeps for about 2 - 2 1/2 hours.
Noon-ish - Eats again. Plays with Mom for a couple of hours. We read lots of stories and play with his toys. We work on the ever important skills of tummy time and rolling over. Then we take a walk around the house and look in the mirror for a while.
About 2pm - goes down for another nap. Usually sleeps about 45 minutes.
3pm - Eats again. Mom watches Ellen. If we have any errands to run, this is usually the time to do it. His naps are usually hit or miss from here to the end of the day, but he loves his carseat, so if we're out and about, he'll usually sleep for a bit.
5pm - This is the beginning of the witching hour. We try to put him in his swing during dinner, so he can have a bit of a nap (especially if we didn't run errands).
6pm - Eat again. Play with dad for a bit and try to read scriptures as a family. By about 7:30, he's tired again, but not hungry, so we have to keep him awake a bit longer so we can fill up his belly before bed. Dad will usually walk around with him. What a saint!
8:30 to 9pm - Eat again, with the help of a bottle now because mom doesn't make enough milk to fill up the belly. Cry it out for a while before finally laying down and sleeping. Bliss!
3am - Wake up to eat. The time on this varies and sometimes he wakes up just because he loves to see Dad in the middle of the night and wants his pacie.
8am - Start the whole day over again. :)

wow...The Today Show and Ellen? The day will quickly come when that is replaced with PBS Kids and Nick Jr. Enjoy it while it lasts!
