Things I Forgot

Since I have had Nick I realized that I had already forgotten so many things about babies. Here are some of the things I had forgotten.

• Babies pant. They breathe fast and shallow, and it is so cute.


• They kick their legs when they have gas.


• They hit themselves in the face. (I don't know how I forgot something this funny.)


• Body functions are incredibly loud.


• I forgot how fascinated with faces they are.


• That a toothless grin will snap you out of the worst mood in a second.


• Their ear canals are tiny. It is a wonder they can hear.


• When they sleep on their side they sometimes stick their chest out and their butt out and throw their head back. Lucas did this and I thought it was so cool. Now Nick is doing it and I can't believe I had forgotten about it. They only do it the first few months, and then it is gone.

• Milk breath. Not the nasty, spit-up kind but the sweet kind.


• I forgot that babies don't love their Mom or Dad first. They love the boob first. I mean they really LOVE THE BOOB. It is truly their very first love. Later on they love Mom, Dad and the boob at once.

I wanted to write (type) it all out so that I wouldn't forget again. I am going to miss all this. But at the same time I am going to really love sleeping through the night again.
