That's our new motto.
Things I've learned about Che and Mama-hood so far. These are in no particular order.
1. Che is the cutest.
2. Feeding is messy and sneezing makes it messier
3. Wherever/however he will sleep works for all of us.
4. My finger *will* end up in the poop.
5. Dance-feeding to Rodrigo y Gabriela really works!
6. It's amazing what you will do to make him laugh.
7. Che laughing is better than any sound in the whole world. Conversely, his crying is the worst.
8. Figuring everything out is going to take a lifetime of trial and error.
9. Baby books (especially Dr. Sears') are great but they're not magic.
10. Look at the consignment shop first.
11. Yes, we have an exersaucer (swore we never would) and we think his messy eating pictures are adorable (swore we wouldn't do that either). Never say never.
12. Babywearing beats the hell out of strollers, shopping cart covers, etc.
13. Che is not on our schedule we are on his. He will *not* wait for us to finish checking our email, listening to one last song, dinner (!!), calling ____, or a blog posting.
More later....

Che is very cute!
Ross, your mother arrived safely in Mandeville, LA. She doesn't seem to know what Che will call her, though. Nana? Grandma?
We are very impressed at how quickly you learned those lessons--there are many, many more ahead!
Cheers, Brian & Gillian
Welcome to the parenting club! It's the best job in the world, but often difficult as you are finding out. I love the baby sling!
