6 months time.....

My beautiful, sweet, playful, adorable, giggly, daughter turned 6 months today!!!!!!! The poor dear is teething something fierce so here eyes are all swollen, her gums are puffy, a slight fever and a runny nose to boot! But that doesn't keep her from smiling and still having a good time.  The one were she is in her hair chair reminds me of my husband.  He makes that face all the time when he's trying to be coy haha.

Time is flying by for my little family and I'm happy but also bummed because I can't seem to catch up some days.

Honestly I can't remember being pregnant thanks to the wonders of a mommy brain I have :p
But can you believe that????

I'm sure for many moms out there that you know exactly what I'm talking about.
For those who don't you will someday.

Here are 25 items I've learned over the course of Raine's life........

1. TEN MINUTES is the best rule that you will ever have with a baby. (Why? Because it can take that long for them to finish a diaper to whining.)
2. Changing a baby can result in never wanting to eat certain foods again.
3.  Banisters are there for a reason.
4. Don't assume something won't fit them just because the tag says it might not
5. TV and other forms of technology can take away the time with baby
6. Burp cloth? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Try towels!
7. Baby books will be another bible for you
8. You can never have to many blankets
9. There will won't be enough pictures of your little one!!
10. Sleeping will be missed
11. Peek a boo is my favorite game
12. You never know how much stress can affect them
13. Being paranoid is a good thing...even when other's don't think so
14. Having a mental list of things to check off in your head are always a good thing to remember
15. Routines are good for babies sanity
16. Cuddle time will disappear
17. Baby can miss you...even when they can't say it in words
18. Planning 3 hours ahead is better for your sanity
19. Keep extra dish cloths and pajamas by the bed
20. Pacifiers-bottles can be helpful if used correctly
21. Having toys in your purse are better then nothing
22. A spare change of clothes for both of you is always a good idea
23. Nursing has NO cons- especially when the baby is hungry
24. Dad's CAN play with baby too
25. Piano music is a good "soothing" tool

Well that's all I can think of right of the top of my head for now.  Of course there is more but these are one's that got me the most. :3
