I'm trying to adjust to a new schedule.
My usual morning schedule is: Rachel wakes up between 6:30 and 7:00, she gets a bottle, Mom puts her back to sleep, either in her crib or in bed with Mommy, both sleep until around 9 or 10. Heavenly.
New schedule: Because we're trying to wean Rachel off the bottle, there is no putting her back to sleep anymore. So now we both get up early, have breakfast, and start the day. The upside is that now she takes two naps a day instead of one.
The downside is I'm not a morning person. At all. Anytime before 8:00 am (preferably 9) and I struggle. This morning I watched a movie during the time we would normally still be sleeping. Not exactly productive, but hey, I was awake. Maybe eventually I'll even get dressed and do something worthwhile with those extra couple hours. Maybe.
Oh, and you still have a few more days to guess before I'll post the answer to the question of how many pictures we've taken of Rachel in her first year (see post below).

I went through the same thing with Landon and Dawson, they eventually will get back to their normal routine.. (at least mine did) it just takes time. You're lucky.. normal for me is 6:30-7:00 am. For a while there, Dawson was up and ready to go at 5am.
Good Luck!
