Lessons from a 5 Month Old Baby

Hugs are medicine.

Love is not earned. 

We are perfect because we are imperfect. 

Sometimes we just need to be left alone.

Sometimes we just need a good snuggle.

Eye gazing is really sweet.

Over stimulation = less restorative sleep at night.

Naps are necessary for everyone.

Don’t be afraid to ask for what you want clearly and unapologetically.

Love your belly, love your rolls, love your dimples. You are a miracle. Your body. Your mind. All of you.

It is OK to receive without giving something back. 

A smile goes a long way.

Crying is healing.

Everybody’s s%*t stinks.
