Three Peas in a Pod: Time Flies

Seriously where does the time go? I feel like the days just go by so fast. We have been so busy with the business; we just hired a full time employee and got a really good account selling shutters, and we finally got someone to help make us a website too!! We have also made the decision that we will be buying our first home in Texas next year! I know sad that we aren't moving back to Arizona ( you can buy plane tickets to come visit us though) People always ask me if i do the scheduling the answer is no; we have an AMAZING office manager ( Jared's sister Dawn) She is the best and i love her so very much for all she does! So what do i do for the business, I pick up blinds/shutters from our different manufacturers, i pick up/drop off blinds that need fixed and i pick up checks. I don't always do it but when Jared doesn't have time to i love helping and getting out of the house! Owning your own business is hard but worth it.

Emma is just one amazing girl. I love her more and more everyday. She learns and picks things up so fast. We are down to one nap a day which is 2-3 hours long. I have a pretty strict schedule with her with food and bedtime/nap time. We started her sleeping schedule at 6 weeks;

Our days are like this;;

Wake up around 7 ( Yes 7 am!!)

Eat breakfast about 7:30

after breakfast we play, go to the park, shop and run earns.

When she is in the shopping cart i give her some crackers to keep her busy

By 10:30 she is ready for a snack which is yogurt cheese and fruit

after that we play some more in the house, she still loves reading books and trying to figure out how things work

Noon; LUNCH TIME!!!

This child could eat all day no joke.

She eats anything and everything. For the most part she feeds herself; no spoon yet but working on it.

NAP TIME right after lunch, we read one book, i sing to her and put her down she is out in like 5 minutes

Mommy time;

Crafts, t.v., cleaning,relaxing, along with picking up the mess we made in the morning.

She wakes up and wants to be held my favorite part of the day, she just wants to be cuddled then we play some more or run more earns

3:30 Snack time again;

yogurt or applesauce with fruit and graham crackers

After snack time we watch baby enistien not every day maybe like 2-3 times a week. She loves it she will sit and watch the whole thing without moving.

5:45 Emma has a breakdown every day because she thinks i forgot to feed her. but really im making dinner at this point. She will sit on the floor look up and me and cry or she will knock on the pantry door. it's kinda funny but sad.

6:00 pm is Dinner time no matter what!

After dinner we get a bath, lotion, clean pajamas, brush the hair and teeth, one last drink of milk

we say our prayers, i read two books to her while she turns the pages, i sing twinkle twinkle to her, kiss her good night and tell her i love her and put her down.

She sleeps through the night has been for a long long time now.

I think starting a schedule is one of the most important things EVER.
