1. Pre-Mommy me loved to sleep in. I could sleep til 10 or 11 easily any chance I got! This past year I have learned to appreciate the rare occasions I get to sleep until 8 or 8:30.
2. I totally understand the saying where your child is like a little piece of your heart running around outside your body.
3. Routines are always changing around here. What worked at 1 month did not work at 3 months and this has changed several times throughout the year. For example, I went from taking my shower in the morning while he napped in the rocker to me showering at night after I put him to bed. I'm having to adjust how I "used" to do things all the time!
4. Teaching him to obey "no" is very important to us. But this is not easy. He does the same thing over and over again. Like pulling up on the tv stand and playing with the cords. He acts like we hurt his feelings, but then wants to snuggle with us. We are persistent though, and are starting to see results.
5. Nothing puts a smile on my face faster than someone asking if I have children and getting to talk about my little boy. My son.
6. Leaving the house is no longer a quick and easy thing to do. We have to plan out where we're going, how long we'll be gone, if he'll need a nap, a bottle, food, etc. and remember to pack things needed. And then make sure I have everything I would need... money, license, keys, checkbook, insurance cards, whatever.
7. Family try to lay claim to my baby, but we all know the truth. He's mine. And a Zach's of course.
8. I look at almost every opportunity as a photo op. I want to remember the little things of him being small.
9. I'm amazed at what a little magnet he is. People talk to him and even acknowledge me more than ever. He's been good for this typically shy momma.
10. I remember life without him, but I now simply cannot imagine my life without him.
