5:30 - wake up and eat a bottle (only if mommy has woken up before him and pumped a bottle, if not, cry for 15 minutes and then a bottle). Only sometimes does he fall back asleep.
6:30- eat another bottle (I have a chunk) and then eat Cheerios while I muster up some type of breakfast for the kids
8:30-9:00- attempt to put the kid down for a nap. He would much rather have me hold him for a full hour but unfortunately time does not stop, so he usually cries for a good 20-30 minutes before stubbornly giving up and sleeping in his crib for around 30-60 minutes
11:30-lunch, he has gone back to purees and that is fine with me, less messy and he will eat quite a bit. We are currently working on a broccoli and apple mixture.
12:30ish- another bottle, this one seems to depend on how much real food he ate at lunch.
1:00- down for a nap, for whatever reason my timing on this nap has gotten better or maybe because all 3 go down at the same time and the house is quieter, but this nap is only a few minutes of crying and then if I'm lucky, a 2 hour nap. The sweet days are when the big kids are in sync and I have peace and quiet for at least an hour! I should be more productive during that time but I usually lay down myself and wish I was Robert and fall asleep within 20 seconds. For me, it takes much longer and usually a kid wakes up.
5:30- dinner time, Johnny usually gets a bit of whatever we are eating and I always throw in some Cheerios because no matter what he will eat those.
7:00-bottle and then bed. It is hit or miss here, if the timing is right he will go to sleep, other nights I let him cry and then rock him to sleep.
8:00- try to get big kids to go to slee in their own beds, lately they want to lay in our bed for a few minutes and then go to bed.
8:30-9:00- I'm in bed ready to snooze and usually wake up at 5:30 by a little ones cries.

8 Months
Johnny is 8 months today! I am to that point where I have extreme Mommy brain and I always think, I have to remember to put that on the blog and then when it comes time to type it up - I don't remember what I was going to write.
Johnny is crawling everywhere and gets up on his knees. He does a little bit of standing but not much. He enjoys holding your hands to stand, but doesn't quite have the strength to stay there for very long. He is into all things and we have a partial gate up to keep him away from the door to outside and Mya. He is talking a lot lately. He says Ba all the time and still just babbles. He still smiles all the time and is a happy baby. He has 5 teeth now, 3 on top and the two bottom teeth. He is eating more regular food, his favorite by far is watermelon. He has quite an appetite and I still suck at having him try new things. We have eaten outside the past two days and Mya has already figured out who drops the most food :). I am super excited to not have to sweep so often. Johnny has started to open and close his hand, mostly to Daddy. He really enjoys the water and will probably become a little fish like the other two with the pool up and running. He is sleeping better, he has a cold right now and has a hard time breathing, but he usually goes down by 7:30 and is up for the day between 5:30 and 6:00. He still doesn't have a solid nap schedule but usually gets 2 naps a day and they vary considerably.
School gets out tomorrow and it feels way too soon - might be that I took off two months this year :). I have trainings for the following three days and then I will officially be on break. The big kids are going to go to preschool a couple days a week while I teach tumbling again. We plan to spend a lot of time by the pool, although being home alone with all 3 sort of scares me. We have Zoo/Safari Park passes and Sea World Passes. I am exclusively pumping now and we will see how far into the summer I make it. Only 4 more months until Johnny can drink cow's milk.

Dance Recital
Annie had her show this past weekend. She did a great job and what an improvement over last year. She actually danced and didn't have to be held by Nana. She did great at rehersal earlier in the day and then did good that night. She kept looking at Serena off stage. We go to the fair on the 11th and I told Logan he could dance then with her. Robert didn't want Logan dancing at the recital but he wanted to.
