Bedtime

We've been trying to start a bedtime routine with Magnus and Ragnar.  It isn't exactly what we'd like at this point, but we're getting there.  We are hoping to have a bedtime of 7:00-8:00 PM established.  So far, we are usually getting them down for the night between 8:00-9:00 PM.  Our routine so far consists of:
  • Water element (shower or bath)
  • Nursing
  • Papa reading bedtime stories as they nurse
  • "Top Off" bottle of expressed breast milk
  • Burps/cuddles and laid down sleepy (but still awake)
I'm hoping that as we stay consistent that Magnus and Ragnar will figure out that it is bedtime and know what to expect.  Since we started our routine, they have been sleeping for longer stretches of time at night.  Hopefully that trend will continue.

Here are the boys enjoying their first bubble bath.  (Bubbles were made from their body wash/shampoo - Mrs. Meyers baby blossom scent)
