My New Normal v 2.0

I realized that I haven't been updating you on my new normal lately - and I think it's because thing are moving more smoothly for us these days. And on top of that, I'm crazy busy with two kids all the all the Dr's appointments and play dates and grocery shopping! Whoo! It's enough to make you feel crazy.

Anyway, here is the normal lately:

7:00 - Russ leaves for work, Vince is up, I hopefully sleep a little longer while Vince watches a show that Papai lovingly started for him

eventually - I get out of bed, get breakfast for me and Vince

Around 9ish - try to take a shower and get ready

10ish - run errands while Joseline sleeps peacefully in her infant carrier

12:30-1ish - lunch with Vince

2pm - nap time for BOTH babies, maybe a quick snooze for me, and then chores or something

6pm - Russ gets home from work - DINNER and FAMILY time! That has been the highlight of our day for the past little while - having family time after dinner. On Wednesday we jumped on the trampoline, then gave the babies baths. Yesterday we all worked out - Russ did push ups and sit ups, I did arms and crunches. Vincente danced to the workout music, and he and Joseline attempted to mimick our jumping jacks. It was hilarious. I should have taken a video. Joseline was the best - sitting in her little bouncey seat and when we would do jumping jacks, she would start waving her arms and kicking her little legs like she was doing them, too! It was adorable.

8:30pm - Vincente gets ready for bed

9:00pm - Vincente should be sleeping, or laying in his bed trying to sleep, but lately he's been coming out of his room, since he just realized he knows how to open his door and it works ANY time of the day, not just when he wakes up in the morning... unfortunately he likes trying out his newfound skill at bedtime, so he won't stay in his room. We're working on it, using the silent return to sleep. Poor little guy just wants to open his door.

after Vince is in bed, Russ studies, I watch an episode of Bones or House or Without a Trace (if Russ has no HW and doesn't want to study, we watch Bones together)

11pm - our bedtime, as long as Joseline is already alseep or is ready to go to sleep with us. 

So there it is, the NEW new normal. Joseline's sleep schedule still isn't completely normal, so that throws things off. Give it a few more months and things will settle down.

I think I'm going to start a food blog. Next week Russ and I are going to do a cleanse (mine will be somewhat modified, since I'm still breastfeeding) so having a meal blog will be a good way to keep track of what we're eating.

The new normal is looking very very good :)
