Things that have surprised me

I have been a mom for 6 weeks now, and I have enjoyed every second of it. There has been lots to learn, and even more to come! Here are some of the things that have surprised me so far:
*the amount of laundry 1 lil guy can produce! From onesies, to bibs, blankets, and burpcloths, he sure can fill up his hamper!
*the noises he makes while sleeping--grunts, sighs, laughs, wimpers, and just deep breathing
*the noise that he can sleep through--2 huge dogs in the house barking and running around, TV, me talking
*how I can sit and stare at him and then wonder where the time has gone
*how much I love him; I knew I would love him, but it is really indescribable.
*how much he can eat!
*bodily noises--he already sounds like a grown man!
*how fast he will change right before us. He is showing personality and growing more each day.
*how he has us figured out--he knows when I walk in a room, who is holding him, and what cry to do to get our attention
Some of this I knew, but seeing it all firsthand in my own house has been quite the experience.

Ok, I am at your house reading your blog and watching your dogs and finding myself missing not being able to visit with Ethan! All his stuff is all around, but none of his cute little noises you were talking about! When you get back, lets figure out how to make your blog all cool with backgrounds and pics and such!
