The Stringer's Stories: A Typical Saturday - Last day of being 4 months

So, yesterday I realized that Ryan was going to turn 5 months old today and I never did a "typical" day with him for 4 months old. Well, I can't fail on this so early in the game, so I documented our day yesterday. Here's a "typical" Saturday for us with a 4 month old.

Saturday, February 9, 2013 - Typical Day for 4 month old Ryan (almost 5 mos)

6:10 am -Jason and I wake up to Nathan screaming he has to go to the restroom; he refuses to go back to his bed so he comes lay in bed with us.

6:30 am - my alarm starts going off so we let Nathan watch the TV in our room while we snooze a little (lot) more.

7:15 am - Ryan wakes up and starts happily playing in his crib.

7:30 - I wake up and get dressed

7:45 - Jason goes and gets Ryan; changes his diaper while I get cereal ready for Nathan

8:00 - feed Ryan

8:30 - Jason leaves to go to work (yes - on a Saturday) and takes Fancy and Peyton with him to go to the "Puppy Spa" (aka Petsmart) for a bath.

8:45-9:00 am - playmat time

9:00 - we start getting ready to go to the bank (both boys were really fussy so I decided we just needed to get OUT of the house!) It was currently 40 something degrees outside so going outside was out of the question with Ryan.

10:00 am - we get back from town and I change Ryan's diaper and put him down for a nap. I start a load of laundry, give Nathan a snack, let Nathan watch one Diego and relax.

11:00 am - Ryan wakes up; diaper change; bottle

11:30 - lunch - Nathan has leftover hotdogs and Ryan has bananas and rice cereal

12:15-1:00 - Ryan has play-mat time; practices sitting and Nathan plays with his cars and workbench.

1:00 - Put on a 30 minute movie for Nathan; feed Ryan a bottle and put him down for a nap around 1:15

1:30 pm - put Nathan down for his nap; I finally eat lunch. While both boys are sleeping I catch up on DVR'ed shows and work on the last pieces of Nathan's 2nd year scrapbook (1st birthday - 2nd birthday).

3:00 - Nathan wakes up (has to go to the potty) and refuses to go back to bed; give him a snack

3:15 - Ryan wakes up and plays in his crib ( side note - I was watching an episode of "Castle" where Beckett and Castle are stuck with a lion - well Nathan sees the lion and starts asking a billion and one questions about the lion; the zoo; where the zoo was at....you get the idea - for 15 minutes he asks questions because he saw the lion...he's very inquisitive of EVERYTHING...)

3:30 - I go get Ryan; change diaper; Ryan plays on his play-mat. I put on an episode of Diego for Nathan to stop the lion questions....

3:45 - feed Ryann

4:15 - 5:15 - Play on the floor with both Ryan and Nathan

5:15 - Daddy gets home with the dogs and I scrapbook till 6.

6:00 - Nathan helps me cook dinner; Note - Ryan was extremely fussy from here on out to bath time.

6:30 - Dinner (Ryan eats a bottle before solids after screaming for 15 minutes)

7:15 - BATH!!!

7:30 - I read books to both boys while Jason goes to Dairy Queen to get me a blizzard (it was that kind of evening)

8:00 - Lay Ryan in his crib; Nathan helps me clean the kitchen while we wait for Jason to get back

8:30 - Nathan to bed!

8:30 - Peace and quite! I finish putting the sheets on our bed; file some paperwork; shower and finally lay in bed to enjoy the blizzard!

We are ready for Springtime!
