The last three months of Daddy Daycare have been great. Gracyn has to be the most even-tempered baby I’ve ever seen. Thankfully she has a good mix of both Galloway and Shields qualities that makes her very enjoyable to be around. Depending on her mood, she can either be very quite while taking in all of the sites and sounds or she can be conversing loud and proud with the baby in the mirror…ya’ll can figure out which side of the family is which ;).
Fortunately for Mom & Dad, Gracyn responds well to being on time and on schedule (just like her old man). As long as she has a full belly and ample sleep, she seldomly cries. Not to mention sleeping through the night makes life much easier for everyone. Here is a typical day for daddy and Gracyn:
-Tell Mommy good-bye and to have a good day at work. Go down for nap (insert daily house-hold chores here for Daddy)
-Wake-up with a smile on your face. Daddy picks you up from crib and we stretch way up in the air! Snuggle with Daddy while we yawn and wake-up some more.
-Talk to baby in the mirror
-Change diaper (ps Daddy never gets “used” to dirty diapers)
-Put on outfit for the day…generally not color coordinated.
-Drink bottle
-Tummy time, play time, and Bumbo time.
-Rinse & repeat every 3 hrs 45 min.
Just recently you have started rolling over on your own and are starting to get the crawling motion down pat. Although when you try to crawl, you mostly just move around like an inch worm…ie Butt up in the air and then back down. When you learn to get your feet down some more you’ll start getting better traction, and then you’ll be up and running! Regardless, it is just so darn cute to watch you progress and become more of a little person.
