schedule and meals for a 1 year old

What are your DC's schedules like if they aren't in daycare? what do they eat for their meals, snacks etc. DS is my first and I don't have any friends with kids so I often feel like I am not doing what I should. He also still naps THREE times a day, which makes it hard to ever leave...Please share!

Here is a typical day for us:

6:15 wake up 4oz bottle, oatmeal and fruit
8:00 nap for 2 hours
11:30 Lunch, usually a stage 3 jar of food and then a fruit, 6 oz bottle
12:30 nap for 1 hour
3:00 juice and a snack
4:00 nap for 1 1/2 hours
6:00 dinner, whatever we eat, 4oz bottle
7:30 bath and 6 oz bottle
8:00 bed

schedule and meals for a 1 year old

DS is 19 months, I am a SAHM.

6:30-6:45- wake up
7:15- breakfast- either waffles, fresh fruit, oatmeal, scrambled egg, bagel, yogurt
We spend the morning playing, running errands, he has music class on Wed. mornings, going to the park or open play somewhere, playdates with my mommy friends.
He will usually have a snack at some point mid morning- 10-10:15ish. Usually a kashi cereal bar, some annie's bunnies, a cheese stick, or fruit.
He eats lunch at noon- grilled cheese, mac and cheese, rice or couscous with veggies, fruit & yogurt, cheese quesadilla, soup, chicken with veggies
naps from 12:45-3:00.
has another snack upon waking- same as morning snack
starting around 4 I usually allow him to watch some TV since it allows me to load the dishwasher, do laundry, clean, return phone calls, pay bills, etc. Sometimes my mom or my best friend will come over around this time and play with him.
DH gets home from work at 6 and we eat at 6:30. Bath at 7:15. Story & bottle around 7:45, lights out by 8:15.

I work PT (4 days a week) but DD is watched at home by grandparents. Here is her schedule.. but there is a lot of variation in her napping!

7:00 wake up and 5 oz bottle
8:30 Breakfast, waffle and fruit, or oatmeal (w/2oz milk) and fruit
10:00-11:30 Nap
11:30 Bottle 5oz
1:00 Lunch
Afternoon Nap
4:00 Yogurt and Fruit
6:00 Dinner
7:15/7:30 She sits in her highchair while DH and I have dinner and will have a snack like puffs, or fruit
7:45/8:00 Bedtime Routine, Bottle 5 oz (which she has not been taking lately) and asleep by 8:15

Re: schedule and meals for a 1 year old

Wake up 8:00-8:30. Cup of milk
Breakfast 8:30 or 9
Lunch 11-12
Dinner 6:00-6:30

He may have 1-2 more cups of milk during the day.

I try not to give snacks if I am home but my ds will sometimes sleep from 11 -3 and miss lunch so if that happens I will give him yogurt or applesauce to hold him over until dinner.
