Isis' Daily Schedule

For any other new moms out there, what kind of schedule are you following?? I have several friends who just had babies and I'm interested to see how feeding & sleeping is working for you! We've worked really hard to be consistent for Isis - not necessarily consistent times before this past week, but definitely a consistent pattern. Isis seems to thrive on this pattern and I definitely love knowing what to expect!! The only thing I don't like about this right now is that she's napping in her swing. I would like her to be napping in her crib ASAP, but I'm going to have to transition it. I think this week I'm going to see what happens when I put her swing in her bedroom. I might do that for a week or so, then I'll transition her to sleeping in the crib in her bedroom.

7:30am - Wake up & nurse
8:30/8:45am - Put in swing when she starts yawning
9:00am - Nap #1
11:00am - Wake up & nurse
12:00/12:15pm - Put in swing when she starts yawning
12:30pm - Nap #2
2:30pm - Wake up & nurse
3:30/3:45pm - Put in swing when she starts yawning
4:00pm - Nap #3 **This nap is the most inconsistent one. She'll fall asleep around this time, but she might wake up at 5:30 and she might have to be woken up at 6:15. It varies.**
6:15pm - Wake up (if isn't already awake) & nurse
7:00pm - Bath & bedtime routine
7:30pm - Bedtime
**If she wakes up twice in a night, it's usually around 12:30/1:00am and then 3:30/4:00am.
If she wakes up once in a night, it's usually around 3:00/3:30am.
What's interesting is that no matter which one of these happens, she wakes up at 7:30am. It's weird.

10 on Tuesday: 10 Favorite 6 Month Pics

This is completely gratuitous, just me posting pictures of Isis, but my friend Hannah took some pictures of our family yesterday! She is such a great photographer & she is also going to be watching Isis for me in the fall when I start my student teaching. I feel so blessed to have her as a friend on top of the fact that she takes gorgeous pictures of Isis!! I also realized that I didn't put any of the ones where she is smiling in this post. This just means I'll have to post more another time! Get excited! (And this is not a great comment-grabbing post , but who cares? This is for the digital baby book!) Check out the 10 on Tuesday blog Read my other 10 on Tuesday posts

How to Efficiently Read Blogs

Have you ever been just completely overwhelmed by the sheer volume of blogs out there you can read? I have. Wow. So many fabulous people I'm interested in reading about! I love the stories, the humor, the pictures, the tips, the giveaways, the links, I just love it all! So I've found myself having to streamline my blog reading in order to better manage my time & make sure I hit the "must-reads" for me. Here's how I've done it: First of all, if you leave a comment on my blog or if you follow my blog, I will go to your blog & at the very least I will follow you on Google Friend Connect . This way the blog shows up on my blogger dashboard when I log in. I always look over the new posts that are there when I log in each day, but if you've looked at my Google Friend Connect page lately, you'll see that I follow a lot of people's blogs! So I had to come up with a more specific approach in addition to the blogger dashboard. This is where my Goog

5 Blogging Pet Peeves

Blogging pet peeves are obviously going to be different depending on the blogger or blog reader. I am not an expert, but I have been blogging for more than 3 years between this blog & my other one. So I've seen a lot of blogs & read a lot of tips. Here are 5 things from my perspective that will really help you as a blogger & me as a reader. 1. Offer a full RSS feed Oh my goodness this gets on my nerves!! I don't know if people think that offering a partial feed will get people to click on their page more or something? But really all it does it gets most people from what I've seen to NOT subscribe or visit your blog at all. There are maybe 2 bloggers that I subscribe to their feed even if they don't offer a full feed & that's only because they email & converse with me regularly & in some way make up for the fact that I can't see their feed in my reader. So just offer a full feed. There is some debate about the issue, but in every debate
