    My two are 6months (adjusted) in two days :D Here is their schedule...and I say this loosely as today of course they didn't have much of a morning nap so I'm expecting a little longer afternoon nap. But for the most part this is how our day goes usually within a 1/2 hour or so.

    (around give or take a 1/2 hour)7:00 Wake up-bottle
    Play
    8:30 Nap
    11:00 Bottle
    Play
    12:00 Cereal-Oat (2tbl) fruit (1tbl)
    12:30/1:00 Nap
    3:00 Bottle
    Play
    4:15 Cereal-rice (2-3 tbl) veg (1tbl)
    4:45/5:00 Nap (I make our dinner DH and I)
    6:00 Play (We eat, they play)
    7:30 Bottle
    in bed sleeping by 8:00

    I'd like to hear responses too. Our schedule is still somewhat unpredictable but it goes something like this.

    7ish - wake up and bottle
    7:30-9 - play on mat, go in swings a little, when they are trying a brand new food - this week was barley we do food somewhere around here, doctor said to do it on the morning to be able to moniter any reaction. After being on it 3 days I move it to whenever is most convient. They are only on 1 meal a day and I ushually make a tablespoon for both of them, and there's still a lot left.
    9ish - nap (they have been napping really badly lately so this doesn't always last long... trying to work on that).
    11ish- bottle
    11:30: play until start looking tired, then try for a nap.. time depeding on how long their first nap actually lasted, but I'll estimate to - - -
    1:30ish - nap
    3 - bottle
    3:30 play, sometimes solids somewhere in this range if didn't give in the morning, also baths in this up period of it's a bath day - every other day
    5:00 bath
    5:30 - sometimes a cat nap
    7:00ish bottles then bedtime.. sometimes one will need an extra bottle 3-4 hours later if she didn't eat well during hte day, but only a few ounces..
    again this is all estimates but hope to hear others - do others really have a really solid schedule? I'd love for it to be more predictable.. just having issues ith naps! Both semi sleep through the night - one ushually all the way through, the other waking up constantly for her pacifier, and sometimes an earlier riser for an early bottle.

    So yours would be up from 2-7 with no sleeping? Mine would probably go nuts up that long without a nap, but it would maybe get them to sleep deeper at night.. were yours exausted by 7? Did you have to try and keep them up, or did it just work out that way?

    7:30 wake up/change diapers/ 5-6 oz bottle
    8:00 dress/play
    8:30-cereal mixed with formula and fruit.
    8:30-9:45-play until nap time
    9:45-nap
    11:00-wake/change diaper/ eat/ 5-6 oz bottle. Vegetable/sippy cup/puffs(more for practice then anything)
    Play until 2:00
    2:00: 5-6 oz bottle, split a jar of fruit, sippy cup
    2:30 nap time

    I don't think we had dropped any bottles yet, that did not happen until after 6 months.
