Seven Things I've Learned in Seven Months

Before my daughter was born, I wrote (OK, pilfered, paraphrased, and possibly plagiarized) a blog entry titled 99 things I hope to teach my daughter. Now, here we are, more than seven months in and I thought I'd share seven things I've learned. The things that she's learned had nothing to do with me. The things I've learned are all because of her.

1. There is nothing better than the great big grin on her face when I walk into a room.
2. There is no sound sweeter than her laugh.
3. I can change diapers, wipe snotty noses and clean up spit up without a hazmat suit or throwing up.
4. Not all babies look like aliens (it seems most don't in fact).
5. Babies go through a LOT of diapers and baby wipes. A. Freaking. Lot.
6. Eat, sleep, pee, eat, sleep, poop, eat, sleep, pee, and repeat.
7. I have a lot to learn. (But I've learned a lot.)

One bonus item that isn't on the numbered list only because it isn't technically from the baby... Mommy's job never ends. Thank goodness for mommy.
