Your life will get easier.

You have a baby and you think 'Finally she's here.  Lets get this party started'  and 24 hours later reality sets in and you think 'OH MY GOD.  I want my life back.'  It does get easier and little at a time.  With every milestone comes a rebuild of your life because lets face it your life is never going to be the same now that your soul is out in the world but it does get easier.  This is what I found.

- At 3 weeks feeding gets on track and you get used to not sleeping
- At 3 months baby usually settles easier and starts to be more reactive and you're understanding the signals better
- At 6 months they can sit and can play for short periods of time independently
- At 9 months crawling and is more mobile and less dependant and sleeping through the night if not before
- At 13 months walking
- At 18 months walking and running independently
- At 26 months talking and can communicate what they want.
- At 2 and a half they can competently fetch things for you.
- At 3 yrs they can turn the tv on then change it to the correct channel themselves and eat snacks without making too much mess
- At 4 yrs old they can get food for themselves and play independantly for hours.

With every milestone your life gets easier.
