Description: How do you even describe spending a year raising a baby? From a hostile infant to a toddler who knows his first word ("Uh-oh") in one short year... There's no way to summarize it quickly. We went through and picked our favorite pictures from Donovan's first year. And geez, there's a lot of them!
Ten things we couldn't learn until we became parents:
Everything is a toy.
Sleep whenever you can.
You will be cleaning poop off the carpet.
The umbilical stump is really gross.
A smile can make it all better.
Eating is more difficult than walking.
Each of baby's phases will have things you'll look back on fondly, and things you'll be glad to put behind you.
Small animals and children are simply delightful.
Water is both scary and exciting.
It turns out that you really don't need a stroller.
