Right now, our routine is pretty simple. You wake up around 8am. You nurse, then play, then poop, then eat breakfast, then take a bottle and nap for two hours. Then we get you up and play some more, usually trying to go on a walk or an errand together around the neighborhood. I talk a lot with family and do snatches of work
