I have mentioned before Gaven goes down for bed anywhere from 7:30 – 8 pm. He has to wake up by 7 am so we can get him ready and drop him off at daycare. That means on the weekend, he wakes up around that time also. Sometimes he wakes up at 6, which we immediately go into his room and put pacifier back to his mouth, as if to say, it’s too early, go back to sleep. However, when he wakes up at 7am, we don’t try to soothe him back to sleep because that is his schedule during the weekdays. So it is only natural for him to wake up around the same hour on the weekends as well! This is so hard on us since we both are not a morning people. We are so used to sleeping in during the weekends. With a baby, we don’t have the luxury of sleeping in anymore.
When he wakes up, we wake up. If we are too tired and have not much planed for the day, we make a pact to take turns. I usually do the Saturday morning duty and John does the Sunday morning duty. That being said, one of us would wake up when Gaven wakes up. Change him, feed him and play with him until he goes down for his first nap, around 8:45- 9 am. His morning nap is usually the longest, lasting anywhere from 1- 2 hours. When he goes down for nap, we go back to sleep. 
So normally, we will be able to sleep till 10- 10:30am.
The picture was taken during my Saturday morning duty. I cheated (we were supposed to keep baby away so we get uninterrupted sleep). I brought Gaven in to wake John up to start the day early. We failed to convince him to wake up. He continued to sleep like a pig…….
