The "Awww, cute" factor quickly goes out the window when you're up every two hours feeding them and changing diapers, not to mention the constant crying and fussing of a colicky or sick baby. I can't wait for our 1-year-old to get out of diapers and start talking regularly.
Yeah, I agree. The first six months were the worst. Completely helpless. Couldn't even crawl. Yeah, cute baby, but it just lays there waiting for you to take care of it's every need or ITS GOING TO JUST LAY THERE AND DIE.
That freaked me out. At least once it starts to get mobile you start to relax a little more. But then they try to shove everything in their mouths and choke to death on it! AUGH!
I'm so glad my youngest one is 8. Even if the rest of the family disappeared she'd mess around the house and eat everything while she watched TV and played on the computer. Then she'd go next door and tell the neighbors (who we're friends with) what's going on.
Now if they just wouldn't become teenagers and skip over to being financially independent.
Everything I needed to know about life I learned on Dagobah.
