A typical day in my home

Well we have reached the 3.5 month mark which means that I now have a lot more time on my hands during the day now that Maddison is over the wind/gas issues and sleeping more during the day.

A typical day at home for me now is:
Get up at 7am (or when Maddie wakes) and feeding Maddie. Playing or Reading until she gets tired which is usually after 1-1.5 hrs. Once she is asleep I have around 1.5-2 hrs to play with, I will usually have a shower and breakfast etc then do whatever cleaning needs doing for the day. Once Maddison is awake I feed her this is normally around 10-10.30am. We will then play again or read till about 12pm when Maddison is due for another sleep. I like to just chill out for this sleep which can last anywhere from 45 mins - 2.5 hours depending on how tired she is, my chill out time consists of looking at lots of crafty things online and playing facebook games usually, I will also have my lunch etc. Once Maddison is awake we will have another feed and then play until around 4pm when she goes back down. I will then do some more housework if needs be or do some baking. Dean arrives home around 5pm and Maddison is usually just waking up at this time. We are currently trying to get her to take a bottle so Dean has the lovely job of trying to get her to take the bottle which is currently very unsuccessful and she just screams the house down, I will get dinner ready and then we bath Maddie at around 6.15 I'll feed her and she should be going down around 7pm. After Maddison is asleep Dean and I will have dinner then we both get on the net or I will do my crafts. Bedtime for me is around 10.30 - 11pm where I will give Maddison a dream feed so she will last the whole night through.

As you can see I have lots of free time during the day at the moment with Maddison sleeping so much so I'm hoping that I can get a lot of my learning done for my sewing and crocheting before she starts to have less sleeps in a couple of months when I won't have so much time.

Baby Photos

 I can not believe how many photos I take of my three month old daughter..... Don't get me wrong to me my baby is the cutest baby ever and I would like to document every moment possible, I do wonder though whether people get sick of me posting all the random pics of her all over Facebook. I personally love seeing all the pics of my friends babies but what about the people that aren't into babies and they have to put up with there newsfeeds covered in baby pics I do feel a little sorry for them.

The other day I was contemplating counting the amount of pictures I have taken but considering I take them with three different devices (My Camera, Deans Camera and IPad) I just couldn't really be bothered. I am guessing that in the first three months of my daughters life I have taken at least 200- 250 photos of her, obviously they are not all loaded onto facebook and there are plenty that will most likely be deleted once my partner will let me.

Maddison is so accustomed to the camera and IPad being pointed at her that she will always look in that direction (until something else takes her fancy) and every now and then I even get a good smile. I have to say though that catching a smile on camera has been relatively hard because as soon as I point the camera she looks and smiles but I have to wait for the camera to focus by then the smile has gone :(.

On that note please see the pic attached of my beautiful girl who turned three months old two Saturdays ago (30th June 2012) she is still as gorgeous as the day she was brought into this world if not more.

Creating a blog never thought this would be me but my best friend has inspired me :).

In the next few weeks I hope to have this up and running with regular updates and pics of my new life with my darling partner Deane and my beautiful daughter Maddison.
