It\u2019s been a while, hasn\u2019t it? I love these day in the life posts both for me to look back on and to get a peek into other people\u2019s lives. Nosy much? Why, yes, yes I am. The last time I did one of these was when Kaitlyn was 6 weeks old<\/a>, and I figured it was time for a new day in the life in all it\u2019s wonderful mundaneness that I love.<\/p>\n

\"day<\/a><\/p>\n

At 6:30am I hear noise from Kaitlyn\u2019s room. I wouldn\u2019t call it crying, but a whine\/come feed me kind of sound. I go in and feed her with the lights still off and noise machine on. It takes 20 minutes then I put her back down and slink out to the office to blog. At 7:15 I realize she\u2019s awake so I grab her and she plays around at my feet while I finish up. At 8ish I get Hailey up for breakfast. Kaitlyn is already tired so I wear her while I take the easy route and make a big batch of smoothies for breakfast.<\/p>\n

\"day<\/a><\/p>\n

Kaitlyn goes down for a nap and Hailey and I make our way around the house. We get dressed, I fire off a couple emails and then look to chip away at the laundry pile from our week away.<\/p>\n

\"day<\/a><\/p>\n

Kaitlyn wakes up just after 10- perfect timing for the day! I feed her in the playroom.<\/p>\n

\"day<\/a><\/p>\n

It takes a while so I have to rush to get everyone piled up and at the doctor (Hailey\u2019s 3 year well check) by 11:00.<\/p>\n

\"day<\/a><\/p>\n

Some fun facts: Hailey is 3\u20193\u201d tall (85%) and weighs 37 pounds (75%).<\/p>\n

The doctor asks if we want our flu shots. A simple question right? I go back and forth with her with several questions and ultimately decide that yes, Hailey and I will get our flu shots.<\/p>\n

I brace myself for the inevitable tears to come, but to my surprise, Hailey barely flinched. Impressive. I tell her I\u2019m proud of her and tell her she can choose anything she wants for lunch. Her answer? \u201cshushi\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\"day<\/a><\/p>\n

Lunch at Whole Foods it is! I love that they have organic peppers on the salad bar because Kaitlyn got to join in too.<\/p>\n

\"2014-12-02<\/a><\/p>\n

We are pushing it on timing and get home around 1:00. Kaitlyn snagged a short car nap, so she\u2019s up, but Hailey is exhausted and goes right down.<\/p>\n

\"day<\/a><\/p>\n

The cool, cloudy day makes me feel cozy so I put on Pandora (self made Mariah Carey Christmas station), light my candle and bust out the Christmas decorations.<\/p>\n

\"day<\/a><\/p>\n

Have I mentioned that Kaitlyn now thinks she can walk? (she can\u2019t) but she pulls up, lets go with one hand and inevitably falls over. She\u2019s a bruiser.<\/p>\n

David finds a gap in his day and I\u2019m overjoyed. He comes home and I run out to soak up 45 minutes at a local coffee shop to work on a project I have going on. My tea is too hot to sip but for some reason having it next to me makes me feel cozy.<\/p>\n

\"day<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019m home by 4:00 and after feeding Kaitlyn and getting Hailey up, we are all back in the Christmas spirit.<\/p>\n

\"day<\/a><\/p>\n

Most everything is up, but I really am bummed we don\u2019t have a tree yet. Soon\u2026 soon.<\/p>\n

The Christmas tunes play on, into the evening, while Kaitlyn eats and I make Hailey\u2019s dinner.<\/p>\n

\"day<\/a><\/p>\n

We tag team bath and bed and the girls are down by 7:15. I come down and finish cooking our dinner, which was super easy since I picked up the parchment packs already assembled.<\/p>\n

\"day<\/a><\/p>\n

Not pictured: copious amounts of tortilla chips and salsa.<\/p>\n

David takes a phone call and I grab my pump. Since we are practicing with a bottle every day it means I get some quality time with this machine.<\/p>\n

\"day<\/a><\/p>\n

Pumping moms, hats off to you. Really.<\/p>\n

David and I hop into the hot tub (finally fixed after, what, 3 years?) and discuss the list of happenings going on in our life right now. I can\u2019t hang in the heat as long as he can so I shower off and curl up on the couch with a cup of ACV and my favorite magazine.<\/p>\n

\"day<\/a><\/p>\n

It was a decent no tech Tuesday<\/a>, but then we blew it by throwing on a Frasier just before bed. So close.<\/p>\n

I was out by 10pm.<\/p>\n

Sprinkle in diaper changes, a potty accident, a time out and more laundry and you\u2019ve pretty much seen everything. It\u2019s nothing wild, but I love it.<\/p>\n

If you celebrate Christmas, do you have your tree yet?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Who is feeling the holiday spirit with me?!<\/strong><\/p>\n

What\u2019s your favorite magazine?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Congrats to Catherine Jackson, Megan, Ali and Shannon for winning the Lara Bar giveaway! I’ll be emailing you today!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
