I’m going to miss these days when Spencer is older! I love our mornings together.
When I hear him wake up, I go in his room and he’s usually standing in his crib holding the railing. Some days he will be smiling and pointing at me, and some days he is just crying.
I carry him downstairs and change him, then he runs around (usually in pursuit of the cat) while I make breakfast. His favorite breakfast is a scrambled egg and fruit (oranges or sliced banana).
When breakfast is ready, I start his Little Baby Bum video on Netflix and we watch it while we eat. Yes, the same video every morning. I’ve tried other ones and he whines. I know the order of the songs and every word to every song or script on the video. And… I think Spencer does too.
He’s usually done eating by halfway through the video, so then he gets out of the high chair and stands in front of the TV, clapping and bouncing his booty. His favorite songs right now are Old Macdonald, This Old Man, Wheels on the Bus, and this song about all the different animal sounds.
After it’s over, we play for awhile and then head upstairs for his nap. I love rocking him in our chair and I usually let him sleep on me for 15-20 minutes before I put him in the crib.
I was never a morning person until I had an adorable reason to be one! 😊
