I've seen this series on a few blogs that I read and thought now would be a good time to do the same. Canon is 6 months today and I thought it would be fun to document what his schedule is at this age and what are life is like. I already know that this week is a particularly busy week, but that will be more fun for y'all! So, here goes!
Monday
7am - I get myself out of bed after hitting snooze a few times. I'm not sure how long Canon will stay asleep (he woke up quite a few times last night!) so I'm hoping to get at least a shower and coffee in before he wakes up. Lucky for me, I was able to get completely ready, have my coffee and breakfast and even get our dinner, Chicken Enchilada Stew, together in the crock-pot. Definitely a good start to my day!
8:10am - Canon wakes up. I go in and he is all smiles. He drinks a bottle and I get him ready for the day.
9am - We're headed to work. We have to take a lot of stuff wherever we go!
9:15-12:30 - We're at work. Canon takes a nice long nap from 9:45-11:15 while I get as much done as possible. Work lets me keep a pack n' play at the house and I bring his sound machine. Once he wakes up, I give him a bottle, then my gracious co-workers tend to entertain him while I finish things up before he gets too fussy. It takes a long time to pack everything up and get out the door and I try to do that in order to get him home for nap #2.
12:45 - 3:45 - We're at home. Canon takes another great nap from 1pm - 3pm. He wakes up, all smiles again, and drinks a bottle. We play on the couch while Ellen is on TV before it is time to head to school to pick up Aaron.
4:15pm - We pick up Aaron from school. We go in and see the teacher for a little bit so they can get their baby fix.
5:00 - 5:30pm - Canon fell asleep in the car on the way back and I put him down in the crib right when we got home, but he just cried. After some rocking and attempts at getting him back to sleep, we go ahead and give him another bottle.
6:00pm - Aaron and I eat dinner while watching Jeopardy and playing with Canon.
6:30pm - Tonight is the Lutheran Elementary School's Spelling Bee, so we get Canon in his pajamas and head down to Shepherd of the Hills school. We had 4 kids participate and though they didn't win, it was fun. Canon was great and everyone loved seeing him as usual.
8:25pm - Get home, give Canon his last bottle with the lights off, sound machine on and in he goes to sleep for the night. I watch the rest of the Bachelor and Biggest Loser.
9:15pm - I finally put in Jillian Micheal's 30 Day Shred and get my work-out in for the day!
10:15pm - I'll hopefully be asleep!

Today it snowed while we were in the house! This is the park down the street from us and I took the picture on our way to get Aaron. It looked like a blizzard about 20 minutes before this, but now you can see its all blue skies!
