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.
