A day in the life

Gavin and I had a pretty busy day today. Here is how our day went:

6am-Gavin awake for the day. Derek got up with him so I could sleep another hour. NICE!
7-9am-Nurse, eat breakfast, play, read, listen to music, crawl around, put laundry in, walk around, fold laundry, sing songs, play with tupperware, prepare part of dinner, pack diaper bag for the day, change diaper, play in bedroom, play in our bedroom, play with Arnold.
9am-Nurse and nap. I catch up on email/blogs/work email.
11am-G wakes up and we head to library story time. Gavin crawls around the room as all the other babies sit in their mom's lap...Gavin gets into the librarians toy box BEFORE its time, and starts shaking the rattles. Oh well! We stay at the library for stay and play afterwards. Gavin keeps crawling up to a lady (someones grandma) and wants to be held by her! So cute, and she is in heaven. I just laugh. Then G puts his head DOWN ON HER SHOULDER! For those of you who know Gavin, this is very rare...he never sits still! I think he misses both of his grandma's!
12:30-Home, nurse, lunch, play, more laundry, phone calls, finish dinner so it is ready for later, attempt a walk but it is starting to rain, listen to music, watch 2 minutes of baby Einstein, crawl around the house, chase me around the house, play with blocks.
2:30-Nurse and nap. I get a bunch of phone calls made about the back yard (We need someone to come demo the cement pad that was left under the spa...) I find someone and he says he will come later to do an estimate. I also start ironing and sweep the floor full of Gavin's mess from lunch.
4:15-Gavin awake, we leave to go to Raj's house. (Raj is Gavin's friend from my mom's group) We get there and G gets to play with Raj, Aiden, Patrick, and Brent. They are all born within a few months of each other. While the babies "play," us mom's get to chat:) It is nice because they are all in the same stage...and its fun to see them interact!
5:55-Get home, meet the concrete guy (who was waiting), chat with him, go inside and nurse G, fix dinner, eat dinner just the 2 of us (Daddy was working late), play around the house, finish ironing, play with tupperware, do dishes, Gav chases the big red ball around the house, bath, and stories and singing.
7:30-Nurse and G goes to sleep! Right as this happens, Derek walks in the door. We relax, have a drink, and watch TV:)

Nice day with G, now I am tired!

*The last picture is Gavin waving bye-bye! He will wave hi and bye-bye now...it is SO DARN CUTE! He also will do it at inappropriate times, like when HE wants to leave...he did it to the cement guy because he was getting fussy and hungry...so he started waving at the man! HA! The man was like "I guess he wants me to leave!" haha!
