Things I've Learned

I've been compiling a list of all the assortment of things that I have learned over the last four months of motherhood. This is not by any means an exhaustive one, just a few.
For starters I've learned:
you can never have too many burp cloths at arms reach
Polo makes their baby clothes about 3 months smaller than any other brand
breastfeeding is more rewarding than I ever would have imagined
you need at least 2 changing table covers
pee pee teepee's really can come in handy
bath time = naked baby cuddle time
eye contact can be thrilling
the motor in a travel swing is pretty weak
The Baby Book (Sears)has answers for all of my zillions of questions
learning how to read Connor's cries/fusses/grunts has taken more time than I thought
Nuk makes the best pacifiers
diapers are totally over priced
Trupette socks stay on better than any other
although I was warned not to use them, I totally prefer Huggies
Swaddle Designs has the best blankets for swaddling & Swaddle Me blankets are no good
one piece footed outfits that snap up the front are my favorites - they're
convenient, easy to use and don't squeeze my chubbo's tummy
no picture will ever completely capture exactly how cute my baby is(regardless of
how many I take)
guilt is just a part of the package - you have to fight it everyday
there are insufficient words to express to my son how loved he is

Here he is:
