So, Seven Months Later

I just signed on to do a quick post and I see that my last post was a 1-month-old picture. Hilarious.

So, what have I learned in the last seven months? Let's see, it's kind of hazy . . .

1. Lack of sleep will rob you of your desire to blog. The lack of sleep is the hardest part.

2. Fraternal twins are just siblings that are born at the same time. They are very different little people.

3. The cute really starts at about 3 months. Oddly enough, that is also when the father, at least in my experience, starts to actually adjust.

4. Parents of singletons are pansies. (Just kidding all you new parents of singletons that we know.)

5. There is Zantac for babies with acid reflux and it is safe and wonderful. Expensive, but safe and wonderful. (Oh, and Laryngomalacia really does go away on its own . . . eventually).

6. Babies like faces but do not understand the concept of gentle touches. Ouch.

7. Mothers are amazing creatures. At least, my wife is.

8. Don't get comfortable when they start only waking up once a night, they will regress a bit when they decide that they want company whenever they are conscious.

9. Feeding babies solid food is a cute, if messy and time-consuming process.

10. 8-month-olds think that dead moles are fun play toys.
