Our naps usually go something like this, I'll write todays version. This is quite precise for today because I was thinking about this last night so timed her.
dd2 woke and fed at 7am and then had a nap in the pram on the way to school so she slept from 8.45am-9.30am approx.
She then fed at 10.45am and went back for a nap at 11.10am, she woke up crying at 11.30am but I left her and she went back to sleep and woke up at 12.05pm.
She got up and we played together, well I sang her lots of silly songs and she laughed at me a lot She then got grumpy so I put her back to bed for another nap at 1.45pm and she slept until 2.45pm when she woke up herself. She had another feed then and we left for school just after 3pm.
She had a small nap on the way home from town, went into town after school, so she slept from about 4.45pm -5.15pm approx, we were in Asda doing some shopping when she woke up.
She had her last bottle at 6.30pm and went to bed at 7.45pm. Didn't have a bath tonight, I don't give her a bath every night as often I'm by myself and I'm pushed for time getting her and dd1 ready for bed, doing homework etc. She gets a good wash every day though so she doesn't smell, lol
so all together she slept approx. 3hrs 5 minutes today. That is pretty much the same routine she follows during the day every day. If I could just get her to stay awake until 12pm then sleep for 2 hours I think it might be a bit easier but she doesn't seem to want to do this. Maybe it will come with time.
When she gets put down for her naps in her cot at 11am and 1.45pm ish, she grumps for a minute or two and cries but I know that if I leave her she goes to sleep. If she keeps crying and starts getting hysterical I go back into her but usually she's quite happy to find her thumb and drift off to sleep.
I'm amazed at how structured dd2's day is, dd1 was never like this but then I never really tried to put her into a routine as we didn't have to be a certain places for certain times so it didn't matter.
all those babies are so cute it's so nice to see them getting so big and looking like real people iykwim.. I'm going to post another one of dd2 that I took last weekend with our webcam. It's the first photo I have of her smiling, dd1 had to stand beside me and make her smile, she frowns at me when she sees me with the camera. I'll need to upload it so I'll post a link later.
dd2 isn't getting weighed this week as the clinic is closed. She gets her next set of jabs next Monday and I'll take her to get weighed next Wednesday.
My granny keeps asking when I'm going to start solids. In her day they started them on solids when they reached a certain weight. I think dd1 was around 16/17 weeks when I started her on solids. Was defintely over 4 months as those were the guidelines back then. If I'm sitting eating something in front of dd2 she watches me and opens her mouth as if to say come on wheres mine? LOL
