Raising a Little Boy is Awesome – Thing’s Mack Has Learned

My husband Alex & I were blessed with an amazing & healthy baby boy 17 months ago & it's definitely been a learning experience.

Due to many reasons, some health related, Dalton will be our only child. I know some people really baby their first & especially their only child but it's the exact opposite for us. We have never treated him like a baby & due to that fact his level of comprehension is extremely high for a child his age, which is awesome!

Some things I've learned:

He wants to eat, poop, or run.

Yelling is good. Quiet needs attention.

Pointless physical activity is perfect, picking up rocks & putting them into a bucket is great fun!

Good sleep patterns are the most important thing you can give to your newborn, we messed this us horribly and are still paying the price for not having a regular routine.

However you raise your child remember these times are fleeting and to take time away from your busy schedule to just enjoy the simple things with your family!
