In 8 Months I've learned....

I'm 8 months old today!

...that one day, baby realizes she can talk and starts saying mamablamablabla all of a sudden!
...that even though your childhood nickname may have been 'Snuggle Bunny' your child may be completely the opposite & wiggles & squirms constantly.
...that dog toys and water bottles, laundry baskets and flip flops are way more fun than kid toys.
...that a baby can learn that "No!" is definitely not something they want to hear! (Waaaa!)
...that you'll never be ready for the next big thing, milestone, whathaveyou - it just happens!
     ...and sometimes you don't even realize that it happened until awhile later.
...that 4 seconds of cuddles better be cherished because it might be all you get!
...that 6:30 am will continually be your wake up time, even if you're still in denial about the early hour. :)
...that you want to do better, be better & make the right choices for your little one. 
...that it doesn't get any easier to get things done the older they get.
...that one smile from a baby, directed right at you, will make you smile and feel happy to the core.

I'm not getting into trouble at all!  Not me! :)
Cheeeese!

Cheers!

I'm sleepy you guys, time for bed!
