Since Marci generally pulls the night shift with her, I usually get up around 5:30-7:00am when Evelyn wakes up in the morning. We have our little routine… play time on the changing table, diaper change, visit Goober the bear in the spare room, sometimes I take some pictures, and when she decides that she is ready to eat, I sit at my desk with her on the boppy and I feed her a bottle with my left hand as I check email and plan out my work day with my right hand. I think that this is my favorite time of day with her as I get her all to myself and, she is generally very alert and she is all smiles.
Shortly after this routine started, I decided that it is also a great time to expose her to some music as she generally sits with me in my chair for 30-60 minutes. If she drifts off to sleep, I will move her back to the bed and keep the music going until it is time to get ready for work. I am going to try to expose her to a little of everything but started with quite a bit of classical music as well as some electronica, jazz, classic rock, etc. I thought it would be fun to keep track of all of the things that we listen to during this time together.
