One Year! Yes, I have three 1 year olds. It is so crazy to me. Here is what our daily schedule looks like right now:
6:45 AM: I wake up to pump and shower.
7:30 AM: The girls are sometimes awake but playing in their cribs quietly. I eat breakfast and get their bottles ready. On occasion, there is someone up already and in the kitchen with me as I get things ready.
8 AM: I go in to their room and say good morning. I change their diapers and set them up on the floor to drink their bottles. Once they finish, I set up the baby gate to let them play in their room while I prep bottles and clean up the kitchen.
9 AM: Bring the girls in to the kitchen to eat solids.
9:30 AM: Change their clothes and let them play in their room some more.
9:30 AM: Let the girls play in their play pen while I try to clean up the disaster they have made in their room and in the kitchen. Start the laundry, start the dishes.
10:30 AM: Nap time. Then I either clean up or try to get something done around the house.
11 AM: Time for my lunch.
11:30 AM: Prep for the babies lunch.
12 PM: Babies are awake and I bring them in to the kitchen for lunch.
12:30 PM: This is our "open" time. We go for a walk, run a errand, or play in the play pen.
2 PM: Prep bottles and then feed the girls in the boppies in the living room.
2:30 PM: Nap time. I put them all in their sleep sacks in their cribs. There is normally some chatting going on before they fall asleep. I head to pump (#2) and keep an eye on them on the monitor.
3 PM: Clean/do chores/etc.
4 PM: Girls wake up. We play or go for a walk.
5 PM: Prep dinner for the girls.
5:15 PM: Feed girls dinner in the feeding table.
6 PM: Brian gets home. And I start dinner. We take the girls to the play pen or their jumperoos.
6:30 PM: Brian and I eat dinner. They run around in their walkers.
7 PM: Bath time or play in the girls room while we get them ready for bed.
7:30 PM: Prep night bottles.
7:30 PM: Prep night bottles.
8 PM: Night bottles and then to bed.
8:30 PM: Clean up the kitchen, Brian cleans the living room, start laundry, eat dessert.
10 PM: Pump #3.
10 PM: Pump #3.
10:30 PM: Get in bed... And babies wake up...
We are really trying not to feed the girls in the middle of the night. But things are so unpredictable and we just do what we think is best in our zombie, sleepy parent state.
This schedule has lightened slightly from the 9 months post. I'm able to leave them playing while I do some stuff around the house (if they are in good moods), which makes my days a little more productive. I also don't have to be so strict about the schedule. They have learned to adjust feeding times or naps accordingly. I can't believe they are already one. I have had one amazing year!

You are amazing!! I can't believe the girls are 1 already!! Hope you all had a great weekend celebrating!!
It seems like you have it down! I know your girls still get up in the middle of the night (so does mine) but did you do any sort of sleep training? I would love to be able to put my daughter down awake in her crib to fall asleep.
