Things I've Learned: The First 3 Months

They say children learn the most during these first few months of their life. I would add that their fathers learn a lot during this time as well. Here are some of the things I've learned:

• It is physically impossible for a mother to leave Target without buying a new outfit for their child. "It's only $5!" is the common rationale for buying several outfits totaling over $50.
• I have had more women come up to talk to me in these 3 months than before in my entire life.
• The time heating up a bottle is the longest 60 seconds of your life.
• Leaving the house? Add a 20 minute buffer and load up the car with every imaginable baby product.
• Spit-up does not come out of clothes easily.
• Although they know it will happen, women seem surprised that babies grow.
• No more warm dinners. As soon as you are ready to eat, so is she.
