Weekends Rock

Today was a good day. My life is awesome. Here's a glimpse into my typical Sunday.

7:00 am. We woke up after sleeping all night (YAY!). Bryan had to leave right away (he took the bus to the church) but Eden and I cuddled and nursed for a little while. Then the two of us got gussied up and (8:00) Eden had breakfast (Cheerios, yogurt and fruit).

8:50 am. Eden and I headed to church. Eden was tired (church is during her naptime) so she let me cuddle her for a little while, and I got lost remembering when she was tiny and would just sleep through the service in my arms. (I wasn't helped in this sentimental reverie by the three week old baby in front of us...) She was a trooper and stayed awake, so she ended up in the nursery, playing with her baby friends (and getting a yummy snack of peach-flavored stars!!), while Bryan and I enjoyed the service.

10:50 am. After church the girls went back home (Bryan had to stay for the second service, as usual). Eden fell asleep in the car (sans pacifier! We're working on slowly weaning her from it, so she only gets it when she has trouble going to sleep, and only at home) and then was so passed out she didn't even wake up when I put her in bed. Check it out - she's sleeping on her back, and she never sleeps on her back!


12:15 pm. Eden woke up and ate lunch (oatmeal and applesauce), and finished nursing just as Daddy was coming home. Then all three of us headed to Russo's for the first time. We'd been hearing about this place for what seems like forever, and we kept wanting to go but we just hadn't made it there yet. I am pretty sure trips to this place will become commonplace in our house. It is an amazing produce market.


2:45 pm. When we came home I decided to let Eden try the stairs solo. And guess what? She's amazing.



After that feat of awesomeness, we all played on the floor in the living room while Bryan and I watched OSU attempt to upset Pitt (and eventually, unfortunately, fail).

3:30 pm. Eden had a snack of strawberries (from Russo's, of course) and a cup of water. No sippy lid. She was doing so great, but every time I tried to video her, she would spill the entire cup on her tray. So no video of that. Sorry. But here is a picture I took with my phone (OK, so this picture is from dinner, but whatever...):


3:45 pm. Anyway, after her snack, we played a bit more, she had some milk, and then Bryan left, (4:15 pm) Eden took a nap, and I attempted to rest. Unfortunately it took me about an hour to finally fall asleep, and once I did, Eden woke up literally ten minutes later. But she was all smiles, so it was OK!

5:30 pm. We played like crazy for an hour or so, and then settled in for her dinner (beef, pasta, and veggies). After that, at little more playing, and then (7:40 pm) a relaxing nursing session, and (8:00 pm) glorious sleep (for Eden) while I waited for Bryan to get home from work. And blogged.

I love weekends.
