So Peeps,
One of my bffs, Anna, picture above (check her out pinching me while pretending it isn't her) . . . anyway, her mom was just bragging about her day . . . sleep, eat, sleep, eat, and sleep some more. (check out her post) I think how boring is that! If you want to check out a real day, then check out a typical day in the life of a pint sized princess
1:30am - wake up screaming for a bottle (my parents are hard sleepers so I have to scream real loud)
2:30am - finish the bottle
3:30am - fall sleep
4:45am - wake up screaming for a bottle
5:30am - finish the bottle then fall asleep while my dad is holding me on the couch . . . why sleep in the newborn lounger when I can have my dad holding me
6:30am - mom has to hold me while I sleep
7:45am - have anther bottle
8:30am - finish bottle and fall asleep with my mom holding me
8:45am - cry when mommy tries to put me down
8:46am - sleep while mom holds me
9:00am - cry when mom puts me down
9:01am - sleep while mom holds me
10:30am - wake up for some tummy time
10:45am - coo one time, then begin screaming for a bottle
11:45am - sleep while mom holds me
12:00pm - cry when she puts me down
12:01pm - sleep while mom holds me
12:30pm - cry when she puts me down
12:31pm - sleep while mom holds me
1:30pm - bottle time
2:30pm - mom holds me while I sleep . . . by now she's learned her lesson this time . . . she no longer tries to put me down
4:30pm - dad comes home and holds me and I might take a nap with him on the couch
5:00pm - dad feeds me a bottle
6:00pm - take a short nap in a swing
6:45pm - start crying so I can be held . . . a girl has to get her attention
7:30pm - bottle time
8:30pm - mom plays with me
9:00pm - bath time . . . my most favorite time of the day
9:30pm - pout pout, no more bath time
9:45pm - sleep in my bassinet
9:46pm - dad comes hold me because I'm crying
10:00pm - fall asleep in the bassinet
11:00pm - mommy . . . I want my bottle!!!!!! (AKA scream for a bottle)
11:45pm - fall back asleep in the bassinet
Now that's what I call a day!
Well, it's almost bath time . . . so let me get ready for that.
Edit- 1:00 am Wednesday
There was some mention from Aunt Ju-ju about an addition to the schedule about diaper changes. (By the way- great to see you this afternoon! Sorry I was a little fussy, you'll see from my above schedule that it was almost bottle time). Well, there are two big reasons that I didn't mention that.
1. Ummm...totally not ladylike to talk about such delicate matters
2. It's against my potty policy to have a schedule in that area...got to keep Mommy and Daddy on their toes!

Hey now...that's no fair! Trust me, Anna's days and nights for many, many weeks were spent doing the same exact thing. It's enough to drive you INSANE!!! (Just read my earlier posts people.) I think it's some sort of parents right of passage and boy does it suck. Poor Patrick would come home and find both of us crying. Funny enough the thing that got me through it was thinking of Campbell. I hope you are encouraged by the thought that "this too shall pass" and one day you will be posting about what a great sleeper Campbell is. In the mean time, go into survival mode. Whatever works, really!! We used the bathroom fan.(By the way I did jinx it by blogging...Anna is now a fussy girl before her naps. I dislike screaming baby quite a bit.) Hang in there Comptons.

Ohh and I'm sure Angel Anna was only straightening Campbell's outfit. She doesn't pinch...ohh wait, she likes to pinch the underside of my arm when I feed her. OUCH! But she would NEVER pinch Campbell unless provoked...like when Campbell pulled, I mean "braided," Anna's hair. Seems they are both spirited young ladies! :)
You left out the diaper changes! I understand those are fun evolutions as well!
I am so glad that I got to love on Campbell today! Love you! Aunt Ju-Ju
My Campbell you have a very busy schedule! I know that you are a pint size princess, but it seems as though you are very smart for your size and age! You have learned the power of tears very fast. But before long you will be more satisfied playing on the floor.
Martha and Robbie just hang in there. I have always been told that the first six months you should hold your baby as much as possible and you do seem to be doing just that! 33 years ago Dr. Halsted Stone told me that you could not spoil a baby until they were three years old!

Oh my gosh! Reading that schedule sure takes me back to when Emily was a newborn! It is like deja vu. I promise the first time Campbell sleeps through the night, you'll wake up refreshed but also a little scared. Then you start to get used to it and then you won't know what to think when the teething starts and you're back to getting up several times a night. Kids...so much fun sometimes!
Love, Adrienne
Oh Campbell, this grandma is so very proud of you. Your daddy was like that and it didn't end until he turned 18 yrs old!!!!!!!! So get all the attention you can now, because not only do you deserve it, but so does your daddy. Ease up on your mommy because she is a dear sweet sweet mommy and she doesn't deserve it.Just make sure from the time daddy gets home until the time he leaves again in the morning, be consistent, insist he hold you all the time, or show him just how loud you can get. We love you very much, Grandma and Grandpa
one more thing Campbell, I bet if you quit braiding Anna's hair, she just might quit pinching you. Maybe you are making her braids too tight. love you again, grandma
Oh my, sounds like an exhausting schedule! Tell your mommy and daddy that you are only doing this for their own good because when you figure out how to get on the move you'll just be too busy to be held:) This way they will have lots of memories!
