Schedule?

So I hear moms often say, 'Oh I can come over at 2pm because baby Johnny will be awake from his nap'... I tend to get really jealous because that means they know exactly when baby Johnny needs to sleep and exactly when he will wake up. Miss Chandler is not quite there, actually she is different every day. But what I can count on is she will eat, smile, play, then sleep.. usually in that order. We have tried to make a morning routine, nap routine, and bedtime routine

Morning routine:

     Around 4 am or 5 am Chandler will wake up to eat, that is a bit too early for my liking so I just bring her in bed and nurse lying down. We snuggle and fall asleep together til 7 or 8 if I am lucky :) She starts squirming around and smilng and will say 'wooo' and 'gooo', which traslate into "Good morning mom, I love you!" :) We get up, change the diaper, get dressed for the day, I put Chandler on the boppy for tummy time while I cook breakfast. I flip her over and prop her up on her back on the boppy while I eat, read my scriptures, put away dishes etc. By this time she has been awake for about an hour and is ready for a nap.

(She can hold her little toy and suck her fist! This girl is advanced!)

Happy girl!

Nap Routine:

    I darken the room, swaddle her up, give her the binkie, and let her fall asleep. One day she refused to settle down, I knew she was tired, but she just couldnt fall asleep. After trying for a long time I just decided to go ahead and keep getting ready, so I blow dried my hair... I looked back and Chandler, she was fast asleep. Magical blow dryer! She loves the white noise. They have fancy white noise machines, but they aren't loud enough... and why buy a white noise machine when I already have a blow dryer?! I turn on the blow dryer for nap time and she zonks out.

(Trever was afraid that the blow dryer would cause the carpet to catch fire... what a protective dad! So I decided to prop up the blow dryer... idk if it is fire proof, but I'm pretty sure it isn't hot enough to cause a fire  #firsttimeparents )

She's so cute when she sleeps! After she is fast asleep the binkie just falls out of her mouth.

Bedtime routine:

   The routine kinda goes like feed, bath, lotion, jammies, swaddle, feed, binkie, blow dryer.... the bath really settles her down. She loves the water and I will sing to her as we play in the bath, she will kinda sing back and say 'oooo' and smile. I love that girl!
