Babies are weird. That's what I've decided. Three weeks of having one around the house one and it's certain.

I've never known:

• Babies can go from crying to sleeping within 4 nanoseconds


• Newborns shed their skin in large amounts. Large amounts of her hands came off in the first week. I thought soon there was going to be a baby-shaped skin next to her in the crib one morning


• Babies go through so many diapers. I know I should have known this one, but compounded by the number of diapers wasted from changing mishaps....I'm astounded


• Babies go through so many clothes. See last point and I'll let you make the connection.
