Colin awoke around 7:45am. His night went fairly well. He went down at the usual 7:30-8pm bedtime but randomly woke up at 10:30 and would not go back to sleep, so I fed him at 11pm and he went back to sleep until morning. I think this extra feeding was a result of him not fully finishing his 12pm bottle that day...
Next Colin has his morning bottle while I take a shower ( I bring his chair into the bathroom with me).
Breakfast time! Colin eats a WHOLE banana that he feeds himself and a Yo Baby yogurt that I feed him.
Oooh...and we're entertained by Opa who is quite dramatic in the mornings. This particular morning he greets me with a yelp from his bedroom to take him to the hospital because he hasn't been able to shave...oh the ridiculousness sometimes of a 93 year old ( I take care of 2 babies on Tuesdays and Thursdays, Opa being the 2nd and much less cute one)!
Lately, getting Colin a fresh diaper and dressed for the day is quite the task. Everytime I put him on his back to change him, he flips right over and tries to crawl away. I have to use my arsenal of "distraction weapons: to get this accomplished!
After getting myself and Colin dressed and ready for the day, we're off to town. A stop at the bank, a side trip to Kalupa's bakery for some indulgences on Mommy's part and a trip to Features costume store, which is complete heaven. Colin is fascinated by all the amazing aislesa and aisles of costumes. I find a darling straw cowboy hat for $3 that will be perfect for his farmer theme birthday party he's been invited to later this month.
Thursdays also mean Music Class at Gymborree. I really look forward to taking Colin each week. He's getting more and more interactive during class e and loves
We come home for a quick lunch for Mommy and to feed my other baby, Opa. Not literally, I prepare, he eats. Colin has some grapes to hold him over until his next stop at Grandmary's house. BUT before we are off to Grandmary's, I clean up a MASSIVE poop explosion without even getting it on the changing pad liner, virtual high five!!
Colin spends the afternoon at Grandmary's while I get some "free time". I had dreams all week of a baby free trip to the mall to add some much needed items to my fall wardrobe. However, back to reality, I really need a lot more energy for that so instead I stop at the Ross on my way back home. I did find some great boots and ballet flats for a steal. Mission slightly accomplished.
Next I go by the grocery store to pick up a few items for dinner. ( Aldi's I've said it before, you really are the
I come home and since I am baby free, I get to work cooking dinner. I make this recipe that Evan approved the night before. It was easy peasy.
Trying to cook while entertaining/watching a crazy crawler baby, not easy peasy.
Then I get a little bit more "me" time, and catch up on my new favorite fall show on ABC...Revenge. IT IS AWESOME!
Around 6pm, I pick up a happy Colin and we're back home in time for dinner. Colin has avocado that he feeds himself while I

After bathtime, Colin plays a for a bit in the room with me and then at about 7:45pm he finishes his last bottle of the day. I take him upstairs and get him in his jammies. Tonight I used his Little Pumkin Halloween jamies, I'll try to get a picture tomorrow.
Then I come downstairs and get to eat my dinner and wait for Evan to come home...phew, it doesn't seem like much is accomplished but I'm usually pretty wiped at the end!!
