So, this is #listmania 5, this weeks challenge was to take photos to document your day.
(In case anyone noticed, I skipped last weeks list – sorry, had a really hectic week.)
I have to say my life isn’t all that exciting or glamourous at the moment, I spent most of my day looking after my baby boy and chasing after our toddler. I’m not going to do the photos every hour because I don’t want to bore you all with a dozen baby photos or pictures of the dishes in my sink. So I’ll just do a few snapshots of my day today.
Squishy Snuggles
5.30 am: Squishy wakes up and wants a feed. This is probably my favourite time of day to feed him, because we’re both half asleep and instead of putting him back in his bassinette afterward, I like to snuggle up and have sleepy baby cuddles till it’s time to get up.
Playdoh tea party
10 am: I’m really making an effort to do some fun stuff with Snugglebug when I have any spare time at all. I feel so bad that nearly all my time is taken up with Squishy baby and I’m constantly asking her to wait and ‘hang on a minute.’ Her favourite thing at the moment is definitely play-doh. Today we made play-doh food and had a tea party.
Screamy & Squishy
1 pm: Trying to get Squishy to have a nap. He really doesn’t like this hot weather we’ve been having here this week. He has such a loud cry for such a tiny little person. Snuggle was never this loud and hardly ever cried so it’s taking a bit of getting used to. He’ll happily fall asleep on me but as soon as I try to put him down to sleep he wakes up and screams. It ended up taking about 2 hours of rocking, cuddling and walking around with him before he finally gave in and went to sleep.
Exciting day, huh?
There was also a heap of dishes to do, washing to do, washing to put away, and about a million toys to trip over and put away but I didn’t think you’d all want pictures of all those!
Anyway, that’s it for today.
Till next time,
Beck xoxo

Oh, sweet, I actually looked at Squishy sleeping and read what you did and kind of miss those days! It is so hard in the heat though… hopefully today is better.

Thanks Kate. Much cooler here today, makes for a much happier baby. It’s amazing how fast the weeks are flying by, I almost can’t believe he’s 6 weeks old already. It feels like just yesterday we were bringing him home.

I had a son like yours too – who was fine sleeping on me, but as soon as I put him down he would wake. I love your play doh tea party – looks fun!

It can be frustrating sometimes, but it’s also the best excuse for not having time to clean the house!

Oh I can totally relate to a baby who won’t sleep unless on a parent. Our daughter slept on her father’s chest every night for the first 12 weeks. Not exactly in the great parents handbook but it did mean we all got a little bit of rest.

My husband used to be the only one who could get our daughter to sleep, which was great cos i got to have a rest, but this little one will only sleep for me. At least I get cute baby cuddles while he’s sleeping 🙂

Squishy & Snugglebug are gorgeous! I know how hard it is to get anything done in a day – I’m at home with 3 year old twins & a 9 month old who, like Squishy, doesn’t like to sleep by herself. She’s in my bed right now & has only had 3 nights of her short life in her own cot. I have to admit I like it! My twinnies always hear me say ‘soon’, ‘just wait’ & ‘I just need to do this for the baby’, etc all the time. You just do what you can with what you’ve got!
You’ve got a great blog xx
