1. Patience. This is the biggest thing she has taught me. I have definately learned that I don't need to get everything done at the very moment that I think of it. I slowly have learned that I always find the time and opportunity, it just might not be exactly when I want it to be. Along with this I have learned that nap times are WONDERFUL times!
2. Milestones are really exciting. With every milestone that passes, I often think about how funny it is that I get so excited for her. I still remember one of the first times she rolled over on her own and Stan and I started clapping and cheering for her. She looked at us like we were nuts.
3. What it is like to have your heart melt with one little smile and a little laugh.
4. To greet good friends with a big smile. Anna's "good friends" at this point other than her Daddy and I are her toys. She has a few favorites that whenever she first sees them, she flashes a huge smile.
5. Schedules are awesome. Enough said.
6. What it feels like to not know at all what you are doing. As new parents, this feeling was scary at first, but it is something that you eventually get used to. I actually had a hard time with this at first but I have learned to deal with this by just knowing that all we can do is the best that we can with what we know at the moment.
7. How complete it feels to rock your sleeping baby in your arms. I cannot describe it exactly, many of you know the feeling. I don't know how I lived 29 years without it.

So true! I guess poor Riley isn't a "good friend" yet? BTW - I'd love to have her chase our cat-squirrels!
Oh yeah, I forgot about Riley and Noah (the cat). They always bring sure smiles too!
