A day in the life....

I thought I would give you all a glimpse into our daily life. Every day is different with a 4-month old, but we have a good routine going so far during the week.

5:30 I wake up, shower, and get ready
5:45 Wally wakes up, showers, and gets ready
6:30 Time to wake Lucas and get him changed for the day :( Somedays he is squirming around
on his own, but most mornings we have to wake him. Luckily, he is a very happy baby in
the mornings! Wally usually gets him changed while I finish getting myself ready and
"things" ready for the day.
6:45 Time to feed a very hungry little boy. I do this while Wally takes Nala for a walk.
7:00 All of us are out the door (Lucas is with me.)
7:15 Drop Lucas off at Punky's
7:30-4 Work
4:15 Get Lucas from Punky's
4:30 We're home!
4:30-5 Playtime
5:00 Start dinner - Lucas is usually in the kitchen with me playing in his walker or bumbo.
6:00 Catnap for Lucas - he usually needs a 30 minute nap around this time. He has been
resting in his bouncer lately, but he is getting a little big for it so we need to something
else. I don't want to put him in his crib because I am afraid he will think it is bedtime
rather than just a short nap so we will figure that one out when we need to or maybe
we will drop this catnap and just get to bed earlier.
6:30/7 Playtime and/or bathtime (every other night). Wally gets home around this time if he
just has practice and around 7:30/8 if he has a game.
7-8:30 Lucas takes his last bottle before bed. A little more playtime. Get Lucas changed for
bed.
8:30 Swaddle Lucas up and wind down.
8:45 Lucas is in his crib and fast asleep. Time for me to wash his bottles, make his bottles
and my lunch for the next day, and clean up around the house.
9:15 Time for me to wind down....get in some tv time, reading, etc.
10:00 Bedtime for me! Do it all over again the next day!

The weekends of course are a bit different, but all-in-all that is how a typical day goes in the Zukowski home. It is a pretty good routine, and Wally and I work together to make it all happen! I plan out our meals for the following week on Thursday nights and grocery shop on the weekends and clean when I can.

We also will be adding some cereal in the mix here soon so that will some added fun to our day. I would love to add a quick workout for me in there somewhere, but at least with the weather warming up, we can get out for some walks finally!

I will, of course, leave you with some pictures.

Newest discovery - the paper towel roll!


At Wally's game last Friday - he was awake the whole time and we had a blast!




Yes, you are seeing correctly - he is losing his hair :( But the new peach fuzz is coming in nicely!


He started on the playmat - I walked away for a bathroom trip and this is where he ended up!

Pooh and Lucas usually have a stare down, but Luke always wins and Pooh goes straight into the mouth.
