A Day in the Life of Maelin Olivia

Lots of people ask what it's like to stay home with Maelin and wonder what we do all day long.  Lately, Maelin is awake most of the day and sleeps through the night (just the way we want it).  She makes for a great partner in running errands and enjoys the daycare at the gym (most days).  But we also spend a lot of time at home.

In the morning, I like to lay Maelin in bed with Brett to wake him up....this is normally between 6 and 7 AM.  Brett most days is OK with this, however if she is screaming, he wants me to take her away immediately.

After Maelin gets fed she enjoys watching some CNBC with Brett.  He believes that one day she will be a very successful day trader, in reality though, she is just simply intrigued by the bright colors on the screen, not the stocks.

She spends some time on her play-mat

 Enjoys shaking her rattle...

practices sitting up...

and loves long walks in her stroller!

 Throughout the day there are also a lot of diaper changes

and relaxing moments.

On the weekends when we are doing yard work, Maelin bounces in her seat and listens to some Bob Marley

She also gets to hang with her Dad and cuz Charlie (when I was taking this picture, Brett was upset he did not have a chance to put his hair gel in.......I'm going to leave it at that)

Finally, after an exhausting day for our little bug, she passes out after a bottle and a book.
