So that Dan and I can remember what these days entailed once we get a bit removed from them, we've put together a play-by-play for the day.
Sydney woke up at 8:00 and had breakfast:
Thankfully today's breakfast didn't cause quite the same mess as the poptart I gave her a few days ago:
After breakfast came some play time in her playpen which we lovingly refer to as Baby Jail so that I could clean up.
After a bit of playing with mom came errands.
Sydney is a big helper during trips to the store:
She may be a back-seat driver, but we let it slide since she's so cute:
Once we got back home, it was nap time (for Sydney, I wish for me too :) ). She slept from 10:30-12:00. An hour and a half is a bit short for her. I'm pretty sure the fact that she stands on and smooshes her crib bumper down so that it is practically flat helped her be able to stick her leg through the crib slats and get stuck.
So naptime ended with mommy rushing in to save Sydney from the horrible crib. One lathered-up-with-baby-oil leg and some creative maneuvering later, Sydney was free. A bit bruised from the adventure, but otherwise okay:
(After all of the tears, she wasn't exactly in the mood for pictures, so this is the best I got:)
After lunch, we had more play time:
She REALLY loves Bella:
Still playing with the shoes:
and then had to watch a show before she took her afternoon nap. Curious George is a favorite in our house these days.
Naptime was from 2:30-5:00 and she certainly woke in a better mood than she did after her morning nap
Naptime was followed by some playing in her bedroom:
Then, a quick snack (on the kitchen floor) while I cooked dinner:
(I promise she liked her snack... not sure what that face is!)
After dinner, we went over the mall right near our house for some window shopping and people watching:
A busy day like this will certainly wear a girl out -- she needed a Daddy-ride up to bed.
