Sleep
Miles wakes up between 7:30 and 8:30.  Then he takes 1 nap a day. It’s mostly near 12:30. Around Christmas and when Dave was off work, he'd end up with a much later nap because we were out and about. He was a real trooper. He naps 2-2.5 hours daily. We start bedtime at 7:30 PM. Sometimes a bit later. But he’s super clingy and freak out most nights because he gets too tired.

Eating
Miles snacks in the morning upstairs while we are getting Ella ready or has breakfast in the car.  Then we start lunch close to 10:30 sometimes 11, so that we are done eating by 12 or so for nap. He has a yogurt smoothie before nap since he no longer nurses then. He likes to eat right after nap. Then we get Ella and they snack in the car on the way home. They start dinner or snack immediately after getting home. The kids eat while I cook. Then they mostly don’t eat the actual dinner. He’s in his high chair most of the time we are eating. He has some dessert too. Then it’s almost bedtime.  He has a yogurt smoothie before going up to bed. He nurses a little before bed.

Sample Schedule:
Start bedtime routine pretty close to 7:30.  Routine is Benadryl, diaper change, put him in his scratch sleeves and sleep sack. Put on some ointments but most of the time I don't put on any. Then I nurse. He almost never falls asleep while nursing and goes into the crib awake. He shakes his head no not wanting to go into the crib. He will either not cry at all or cry for less than a minute before being quiet until he falls asleep.  He sleeps all night. If I happen to hear him make noise in the night he goes back to sleep himself.  He wakes up anywhere between 7:30 and 8:30 for the day.  Get Ella ready for school, drop Ella off, and he has a snack in the car. Sometimes he falls asleep on the way home and other times he doesn't nap until 2. 
11 lunch
12:30 nap routine starts - We transitioned from nursing to book reading. We read about 6 books before nap and he goes into his crib awake.
1-3 nap
eat, play, hangout, get Ella, eat, play
then 7:30 bedtime routine again

He gets Benadryl before bed at night and before nap.

Special Moments:
On December 11, Miles punched me in the nose and made my nose bleed.
On December 13, he properly went down 5 steps himself
On December 16, Miles spit up on himself at the hotel. 
On December 18, Miles sees some old guy from afar. He got excited pointing and said pap-pap.  Later he said grandpa when saying bye to grandpa. 
On December 20, he knows so many body parts. 
On December 22, it was Miles's first time to go into the crib for nap without nursing. There was lots of crying.  He cried for 10 minutes then fell asleep after. He woke up sad and crying and wanted to nurse. Dave talked him into a yogurt smoothie.   I was sad I read a book wrong to Miles.  Miles climbed on me, gave me a hug, patted my shoulders, then kissed me on the forehead.  
On December 24, Miles picked out a shirt and pants for Ella to wear. Except she was already dressed for the day. He climbed up on the brown couch himself for the first time.  He said a new word... poop
On December 30, he was super upset to not be nursing. 
On December 31, he climbed up on the leather chair in Ella's room by himself for the first time.   Ella and Miles were fighting over Baby Timmy and Miles said "Timmy." 
On January 2, Miles didn't want to go into his crib before nap. But then he went in and didn't cry. He's such a big boy!
On January 5, he nodded for yes. I believe this was his first time. 
On January 7, I was getting his Benadryl ready and he escaped his room and got down to the landing flawlessly 
On January 8, he woke up with a cough and a runny nose developed as the day went on.
On January 9, he woke up at 5 am crying but then put himself back to sleep after just a few seconds of crying.  What a good independent guy.  He drank out of a medicine cup for the first time to take his Tylenol for his cold.

Random Tidbits
I feel like his carseat isn't adjusted right but I can't seem to get it so the straps are coming out high enough.  He wants to go outside all the time but it's just too cold to deal with it.  I feel like he's developed into a big kid this month but I can't think how to describe it. We removed the gate between the kitchen and laundry room. He's pretty good about not touching the food and litter so we decided to get rid of the gate.

  1. He's so tall! His schedule is pretty similar to Aurora's. I like how you mention they eat all day and then don't eat the actual dinner. That's hilarious.
