I don't really keep a schedule. We wake up around 7, I get her dressed and she has a bottle. Then I get myself dressed and I eat breakfast while she's in the bouncer. I'll usually put in laundry (we cloth diaper so there's always laundry to do). Then we'll play until she's tired and she'll take a nap.

And that's our routine. Wake up, eat, do some sort of activity, and nap. Activities include laundry, washing bottles (I'll put her in the carrier), baking, playing, singing songs and dancing, cleaning up the house, doing whatever I need to do. Usually if I'm doing something boring like cleaning I'll have her in the carrier or bouncer and sing to her, because she doesn't seem to love toys yet. But she's usually just happy looking at her hands or playing with her feet.

My husband gets home around 4:30-5, so he will let the dog out and feed him, then take the baby. Sometimes we'll go for a walk with the dog and baby. A lot of the times we go out to dinner just because I like to get out of the house (and I don't like leaving the dog alone due to seperation anxiety so I don't get out much during the day. It's too much to take both of them out by myself).

Night time is spent trying to keep the baby awake until her bed time without getting too fussy. If she goes to bed too early, she's up too early and I don't like that. At 7 she'll have her bath and we'll get her ready for bed, then we rotate every other night one person gives her a bottle and the other washes bottles.
