Lessons Learned

Tomorrow Little Dude will be 6 months old. I've decided to put down a few things I have learned in the past 6 months in relation to Little Dude.

- 6 months ago yesterday: It felt like I was never going to have my baby. Lesson: Things happen in their own time. Good things come to those who wait.

- 6 months ago today: The Daddy & I decided to play Wii Sports Resort. Little did I know that in doing so it would cause me to go into labor. Lesson: Expect the unexpected. Always be prepared.

- 6 months ago tomorrow: I met Little Dude for the first time. Lesson: Love at first sight does exist.

- 5 months ago: Sleepless nights and midnight feedings were routine. Lesson: Ask for help if you need it. And it is okay to cry sometimes.

- 4 months ago: One little smile melted my heart. Lesson: Appreciate the small things.

- 3 months ago: Little Dude began sleeping through the night & was moved to his own room. Lesson: Take time to get one extra minute of cuddling in because before long they will be too busy for cuddles.

- 2 months ago: Food was introduced to Little Dude for the first time. Lesson: Make messes. It's more fun that way.

- 1 month ago: Little Dude discovered that he could roll across the room. Lesson: Don't leave dog toys or shoes within rolling distance unless you want them covered in slobber.

- Today: Little Dude giggles, laughs and plays every day. Lesson: Don't take life too seriously. And if you do get upset, hugs are a great remedy!
