Photo An Hour

Inspired by Caitlin at Healthy Tipping Point, I took a photo every hour of my day yesterday. It was a different way to document my day.  I only used my phone camera, so the picture quality is terrible. Maybe another day I will use my "real" camera.

8 AM

Avonlea had been awake for about 30 minutes by this point, but I love our morning snuggles. Well, it's more like morning giggles and tackles, as she loves pounding her little hands on my face and squealing like a little piglet. She laid down here next to me and stayed there for a little while--because we were doing selfies.

9 AM

Breakfast time. My enduring quest to find something Avonlea will eat continues. Today, I plopped her on the counter so I could pull something out of the refrigerator, and she entertained herself with the contents of this canister for about 10 minutes.  (no, she didn't eat anything...again)

10 AM

Almost Avonlea's nap time, but time for a little bit of play before going down. She loves pulling herself up onto everything. It won't be long before she walks.

11 AM

My hard work last night to put the dishes away has resulted in a rare mid-morning movie time. Today, it is "Beautiful Creatures".

12 PM

Avonlea still sleeps, so I get to continue my movie. The temperature is dropping, so I added the blanket for snuggles. Gus and Waldo catch a rare, uninterrupted-by-crawling-baby-nap.

1 PM

The Nugget is awake, so we use the time to head to one of our favorite places, the library!

2 PM

Finally having some lunch for myself. Not the healthiest, but we are at the end of the month, so our grocery budget was empty. Scrounging for whatever we had around.

3 PM

Follow-up appointment for Avonlea's double ear infection. Thankfully, the few short days she was on antibiotics cleared up whatever bugs were present--before we figured out she was allergic to the medicine.

4 PM

Home and down for a "nap", but I go in her room to find this. Yep, she is firmly down to one nap a day. *sigh*

5 PM

The "witching hour". Avonlea is done with all of her toys, the dogs are going stir-crazy, and I have no idea what to make for dinner.

6 PM

Dinner for Avonlea while I make our dinner. Pasta with a little bit of cheese, steamed carrots, pepperoni, and a couple of goldfish--she tastes all but eats none (I've documented her food problems on my other blog). Gus sticks around for the little bits that get sent his way.

7 PM

Avonlea is in bed, so I get to enjoy my dinner. Waldo sits close by in case he gets any little tastes (he doesn't).

8 PM

A little photo editing while I catch up on "The Voice". It's amazing how much TV you end up missing--I've stopped watching so many things because I know I won't catch up.

9 PM

I did the dishes as I made dinner, so no real housework to get done tonight--I've been on my computer and watching TV for the last couple of hours.

10 PM

Falling asleep while reading a couple of chapters of Game of Thrones. Another day in the books, and headed to bed!
