right before i left for christmas, devon asked if i'd be willing to help out and babysit miss piper. i said, of course!! and so, on monday the 20th i spent the day having all kinds of baby fun!
and here is a day in the life of piper with katherine!
first we played in her awesome toy. she's a little short so she's standing on a box. perfect!
yep, we watched tv. in defense of the babysitter, the today show was on when i got there and i just never turned the tv off of nbc. so here we are with the real housewives of nyc. piper was totally in to ramona and her googly eyes!
we ate twice and here is one of the bottle times. she was super duper hungry and not thrilled when it took me forever to figure out how to get one of the bottle lids on the bottle. so i scrapped that bottle and went with one that was easier. trust me, that thing was hard! during the second bottle that needed warming up, piper was less than thrilled to be put down while i turned on the stove and got everything together for her. and now i know how moms lose weight: they don't ever get to eat. miss piper was having nothing of hanging out while i tried to put together some food for myself! but that's ok - i discovered mini peanut butter cups from TJs. YUM! and easily eaten with one hand!
after bottle, we stared at the red apple boppy. it was a serious source of excitement.
so much excitement that before we knew it, it was nap time! miss piper did not want me to swaddle her (my first swaddling!)... and she cried for awhile... but i sang made up lullabies b/c i couldn't remember the words to all of them. she seemed to like it. she might be the first to actually like my singing.
and then, about half an hour later it was time to get up and PLAY some more! yay! here is a shot of miss piper hanging out on the floor and grabbing my hair for dear life. um, i'll admit it took awhile to extract myself.
just hanging out!! way way too cute.
after playing long and hard, it was time for another nap! dev's said she'd probably sleep for like 2 hours. um, no. try 30 mins. but! she was out like a light before i even set her down. it made swaddling her much easier!
after piper's nap, we played some more and watched the cold cold world out the windows. here we are looking at allllll the pretty christmas cards... and our pretty selves!
self portraits in the mirror are hard!!
after my day with piper (and once devon came home!), i got to go get my allergy shot and then run home and pack. time to get ready and go home to houston and the family!
