In 6 months I've learned...

That you need to pad the car seat or stroller with a towel when transporting a baby in a swim diaper.

That bubbles are cheap entertainment and half of the program people pay too much for at Gymboree.

That if you feed a baby pureed peas you will still find a pea shell in the oddest places…similar to corn.

That frustration is evident even in infants as they attempt to do new things.

That babies need a change of scenery during the day, just like their parents.

That in an effort to be everything, something will always suffer-I’m learning to let it be my clean house rather than family time.

That teething is still no fun.

Making baby food is so easy and cheap!

That babies cry in their sleep and it’s heartbreaking.

At the gym 20 pounds doesn’t seem like much, but holding a baby all day will lead to sore arms (Tony added that one).

Good morning smiles make you forget about all the sleep you lost that night.

More about reflux than I ever wanted to know. I can tell you which medicines interact with which and how far to space them apart. Carafate? Zantac? Nexium? Maalox? If any of those sound foreign to you and you have a child, consider yourself lucky.

That Einstein is much funnier than either of us to her.

That I relate so much to this post.

That love is all-encompassing.
