13 Months – The Boys’ Typical Day

I like to give an update of what the boys’ typical day looks like from time to time.

The boys’ typical day at 13 months old looks like this:

6:15-6:45 am: get up for the day (you guys occasionally wake up before this time but are very content hanging out in your cribs and playing your seahorses or talking with each other until mommy or daddy comes to get you); you both stand up and start bouncing on your feet when you see mommy on weekday mornings; on weekends we can get you to sleep in a little bit later from time-to-time; you also get a sippy cup with milk to start your day
7 am: on weekdays aunt “C” arrives with cousins “I” & “N” and mommy leaves for work, aunt “C” gets you washed up, lotion-ed and dressed for the day, then playtime
7:45-8 am: breakfast (yogurt, fruit along with a variety of breakfast foods – pancakes, waffles, muffins) & a sippy of milk, on weekends you now get washed up, lotion-ed and dressed for the day, then a little playtime
9-9:15 am: morning naps, this nap usually lasts anywhere from 1-2 hours (you don’t seem to be ready to drop this nap quite yet)
11-11:30 am: lunch (meal with fruits & veggies) & a sippy of milk, then more playtime
1-1:30 pm: afternoon naps, this nap usually lasts anywhere from 1-2 hours
3 pm: snack (crackers & fruit) & a sippy of water, then more playtime
3:30 pm: weekdays daddy home from work, daddy runs “blinds” with Bailey, does yard work, works in the garage or takes you guys for a walk
4:20 pm: weekdays mommy home from work – more playtime or a walk outside, if it’s nice
5:30-6 pm: supper (meal with veggies & maybe a fruit) & a sippy of milk, followed with our bedtime routine of lotion & pjs (& a bath, if it’s bath night)
6:45-7 pm: snuggling on the couch or chair with mommy & daddy with your blankets & nuks – reading a bedtime story; in bed by 6:45-7 pm (you now go to bed awake but sleepy and put yourselves to sleep within 5-15 minutes – sometimes you fall asleep right away and other nights you talk for a little bit before settling down); you are now down for the night and sleep through the night, only making a couple of peeks and possibly needing your nuks replaced 1-2 times
