Things I'm learning as a new mom:

• You can never take too many pictures


• If there is anything you hope to get accomplished for the day, do it first thing in the morning, or it ain't happ'nin


• Sleep is precious (why did I not know this before?)


• A bowl of cereal does consistute a full meal


• 9:30 pm is a perfectly acceptable dinner time


• Short nails may not be as pretty, but they are much easier to dig the Desitin out from under


• WD-40 is my best friend


• Makeup is totally optional


• You never need an excuse to put a cute, frilly dress on your baby girl


• Your mouth can make for a great 3rd hand when your other two are full


• There is nothing quite as perfect as just staying home with your family on a Friday night (and maybe also Saturday night, Sunday night, Monday night - ok, I guess I should go out sometimes too)


• As soon as you think you're on schedule for the day, your baby will decide that she has much different plans for you ;)
