photo an hour: at home with a baby

A few of my friends have asked me what I did all day as a stay at home mom. Although I would like to say I had loads of time to blog and create jewelry, that is simply not true. Between feeding, changing and trying to keep a very mobile Henson out of trouble, my days are really busy.
Usually, Henson wakes up at 5:00 but we try to keep things quiet until 6.

6am: Coffee and Kitty stares.

7:00 play after breakfast

8:00 Walk along the river. Pat and I chat while Henson naps in his stroller.

9:00 met this guy on our way back to the car

10:15 Pat's car ran out of gas and I had to go save him!

11:30ish lunch

12:00 cutting up beets for dinner

1:00-2:30ish nap time 

3:30 tidying up the nursery for a future blog post

4:30 enjoying the beautiful weather

5:00 Cookie looking for dinner

5:30 books before dinner

6:30 finishing up dinner/ getting ready for a bath

7:00 bath and sleep coaxing (no photo because this time of day can be a struggle)

7:45/ 8ish dinner and a moment of peace

9:00 Pat gets home and we hang out until Henson wakes up somewhere between 10 and 11. I hope this wake up will eventually go away and he will sleep until midnight or later. We'll see. 

Documenting a regular day was interesting. It is crazy that the chaos and energy cannot really be expressed through photographs. I will miss these days but am so grateful I was able to have them. Thanks for looking. Love, Ms. Kate.
