10 Things I learned from being a new mommy

1) I can't do it on my own. The only way I can do this mommy thing is God's help. 

2) Patience is key, lots and lots of patience

3) Everyday can be an adventure. My son is so amazed at the little things in life. I took him to the park and the coffee shop, and he soaked everything in. I need to learn to enjoy the little things I life, just like Ezra does.

4) You never stop learning. Every day I am learning more things about my being a mommy, more things about my son, and more things about life in general. 

5) Life is always better when you sing. My six month old son understands this already. I love music and I believe Ezra does too. He already sings in the backseat along to the music. He loves when I sing to him. It always brightens my day and his.

 
6) Don't be afraid to ask for advice, but don’t be afraid to do things your own way. Everyone always has advice for new moms I am learning that I know what is best for my baby. What works for someone else and her child may not work for me and my child. But I still like to get advice from the good mommas I know. 

7) Don’t stress about what the experts say. When Ezra was born, I read everything I could about parenting, and tried to follow everything I read. Then I realized I was going to drive myself crazy. It’s good to follow some of what the “experts” say sometimes, but I am learning that these so-called experts don’t always know what’s best for me or my son.

8) Don’t be afraid to be silly.  Life is too short to be too serious all the time. I love to be silly with my son. He loves it too. 

9) Take lots of pictures!
10) Enjoy every moment with your babies. Everyone says that, but this is so true. My son is 6 months already! It seems like he was just born.
