A Day in the Life of Molly

I have learned that Molly REALLY loves being on a schedule. If we do something out of the ordinary, she lets you know that she's not happy. Here is what our typical day looks like:

Between 5:30 and 7:00 --- Wake up and Nurse (Daddy normally goes to get her, changes her, and brings her to me in bed)

Then we either play for a while if she slept in later, or she goes right back to sleep for 1-3 hours if she got up at 5:30 (and I go back to sleep too)

8:30 --- Story and Nap (About an hour)

Between 9:30 and 10:15 --- Play in crib with mobile and then nurse

10:45 --- Play with Mommy, or run errands

12:00pm --- Story and Nap (About an hour), or still running errands

1:00 --- Bottle (6-7 oz)

1:30 --- Play with Mommy

2:00 --- Story and Nap (About 2 hours!)

4:15 --- Nurse

4:45- 5:15 --- Alone play while Mommy makes dinner

5:30- 6:30 --- Play with Daddy 

6:50 --- Bath time (twice a week)

Between 6:50 and 8:00 --- Bottle (6 oz), stories, songs and bedtime!

Then she wakes up sad/scared about 1/2 to 1 hour later.  We go comfort her back to sleep.  Sometimes this happens 3 times before 10:00.  But then she sleeps about 8-10 hours!

It's super nice that I can now plan my days according to her schedule. She usually doesn't vary more than a half hour.  Now that church is at 11:00 it's a little tricky trying to get her to nap during or after so she usually goes to bed early on Sundays because she's a fussy-pants.
